OH Leuven and KV Mechelen pursue Marseille goalkeeper Jelle Van Neck
Summary

Both OH Leuven and KV Mechelen are seeking to sign Jelle Van Neck, a 22-year-old goalkeeper with Marseille. Reports indicate that OH Leuven views Van Neck as a potential replacement for Tobe Leysen, while KV Mechelen aims to provide competition for their current number one goalkeeper, Nacho Miras. Van Neck has not yet made a first team appearance for Marseille and has mainly played for their B team. The decision to move to Belgium may hinge on the opportunity for more first team football, which is more viable with OH Leuven given Miras's performance last season.
