MATT MIAZGA is reportedly set for his fourth loan spell away from Chelsea as he nears a switch to join Anderlecht.
The 25-year-old is set to become the latest player to depart Stamford Bridge on loan having failed to feature for the Blues in over four years.

Miazga joined the West Londoners from New York Red Bulls in January 2016, where he featured twice before the end of the season.
But he hasn’t appeared for the club since, with the centre-back being shipped off on loan to Vitesse for two years between 2016-2018.
He was then sent out to French outfit Nantes in 2018, before being recalled to go off to Reading in the winter transfer window in 2019.
His loan spell with the Royals was extended for the 2019/20 campaign, where he played in 20 Championship matches.
And he is now poised to be sent out yet again, with Goal stating he has agreed to link up with Vincent Kompany’s Anderlecht.
It has been said that the USA international has chose to join the Belgian side after speaking with the Manchester City legend.
Miazga – who still has two years left on his contract with Chelsea – will be looking to help Anderlecht win their first league title since 2017.
The club currently sit fifth in the table table after seven games, having won three three and drawn four.
Anderlecht boss Kompany has been criticised by the club’s supporters since he re-joined the club from the Citizens last year.
And fans were left furious by the 34-year-old earlier this month despite Kompany accepting a 50 per cent pay cut in his salary, as they argued he is still overpaid.
It has been claimed that he will earn £2.7million-a-year in place of his former annual pay packet, believed to be £5.4m.
