Chelsea Loans USA's Matt Miazga to Anderlecht

Matt Miazga is headed out on loan again.

The U.S. men's national team center back is leaving parent club Chelsea for a season-long spell at Anderlecht, the fourth temporary club away from Stamford Bridge for the 25-year-old since he joined Chelsea from the New York Red Bulls in 2016.

After stints with Vitesse, Nantes and Reading, Miazga heads to Belgium, where he'll play for a center back great in Vincent Kompany, who retired to fully focus on management. Anderlecht has been the home to U.S. talent before, with Sacha Kljestan and Kenny Saief previously playing for the club, and Miazga joins just before Monday's transfer window deadline.
