Last seasons surprise package, Sint Truiden are much changed this season. Wouter Vrancken has gone to Hearts, while a few key players have also left. Frederic De Meyer steps up to take control of a squad that is far too light to compete in Europe and the Belgian Pro League. Expect to see a few more signings made by the Canaries before the end of the window.
Transfers in: Joedrick Pupe (Vancouver, loan made permanent), Frederic Soelle Soelle (RWDM), Nelson Ishiwatari) Cerezo Osaka), Ryotaro Araki (Kashima Antlers)
Transfers out: Rihito Yamamoto (Freiburg), Ryotaro Ito (free), Jo Coppens (free), Simen Kristiansen Juklerod (Duajska Streda), Andres Ferrari (Sporting Gijon), Isaias Delpupo (Patro Eisden), Adam Nhaili (Dender)
Key player: Abdoulaye Sissako
The unsung hero of last seasons campaign, Abdoulaye Sissako was crucial in providing Sint Truiden a base from which to play from. His ability to win back the ball and help the side transition from defence to attack was underrated and, given Yamamoto has left for Freiburg, he really is the only out and out ball winning midfielder that they have. Given the likelihood that they will face stiff opposition in Europe, Sissako will be even more crucial.
