After selling their top scorer from last season to Anderlecht, Sint Truiden have brought in striker Keisuke Goto from the same club. The 20-year-old Japanese forward joins for a season long loan from the Brussels side. Sint Truiden will be hoping that Goto can fill Adriano Bertaccini’s boots, with the striker having scored 21 goals in 36 games. The forward scored on his debut for Anderlecht in their victory over Cercle Brugge.

Goto himself played 10 games in the Pro League for the Anderlecht senior side last season, scoring three goals. He spent most of the year with the sides second team, Anderlecht Futures. In 17 second tier games for the side he scored seven goals.

Goto joins a side with a strong core of Japanese players. Sint Truiden’s Japanese ownership has seen a large influx of J League players over the last few seasons. Sint Truiden brought in Taiga Hata and Kaito Matsuzawa from the Japanese domestic league this summer.
