Anderlecht back on the trail of Hibs striker Benjelloun

Hibs forward Abdessalam Benjelloun is back on the wanted list of Belgian giants Anderlecht.

Anderlecht boss Ariel Jacobs had been keen on Benji last season, but the players form dipped and so did the interest of Anderlecht, who had been impressed with his 14 goal haul in the previous season.

Jacobs has had Benji watched over the last couple of months and has been impressed with how he has handled the step up to full international level with the Moroccan side.

Benji scored three goals in his first three games for the Atlas Lions, prompting Jacobs to send a scout to watch the Hibs forward in action against Rwanda.

23-year-old Benjelloun impressed the visiting scouts by setting up both of Morocco's goals in a 2-0 win, sending the Atlas Lions back to the top of their group.
