Financially-troubled Antwerp will be forced to sell several key players including exciting young striker George Ilenikhena, who was born in Nigeria, so as to balance the books.
In recent years, Chairman Paul Gheysens has pumped over 150 Million Euros into the oldest club in Belgium.
However, he cannot continue this so as not to run foul of the UEFA financial fair play rules.
And now according to Het Nieuwsblad, Ilenikhena is one of four top players who will have to be sold for premium price this summer.

He has since justified this investment by scoring eight goals in 28 appearances to attract interest from top clubs across Europe.
His Transfermarkt value is put at 10 Million Euros.
