[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Antwerp winger Manuel Benson<\/a> (25) is officially a Burnley player and has signed a four-year contract to play under Vincent Kompany.<\/p>\n

\nManuel Benson is leaving Antwerp after a successful start to the season, including a superb assist for Drita in the Conference League. The 25-year-old right winger, eager to move on in his career and discover new experiences, has joined England and Burnley.<\/p>\n

Benson<\/a> was a member of the JMG Academy in Lierse and quickly became a household name before joining Genk. A less successful episode in his career, but one that allowed him to bounce back to Mouscron and launch his career.<\/p>\n

Having arrived at Antwerp in September 2019 from the Limburg club, Manuel Benson<\/a> has scored eight goals and distilled ten assists in 68 appearances for the Great Old.<\/p>\n

“I’m very excited, it’s a new adventure for me. I’ve heard a lot of good things about this club,” Benson told his new club’s website. “I can’t wait to get started and meet my new teammates.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Kompany described his new signing as a “hard-working player who will help us improve our team, as well as his own game”<\/em>. Benson<\/a> is “a one-on-one specialist who is a threat in the final third of the pitch. I have no doubt he will give everything for the club and for his teammates.”[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”23116″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
