K.R.C. Genk signs Jeppe Erenbjerg as first summer transfer. The 26-year-old Dane comes from Zulte-Waregem and signs a contract until the summer of 2030 at the Cegeka Arena. With Erenbjerg, K.R.C. Genk brings in a player who knows the Belgian competition and is immediately deployable. Last season, Erenbjerg was good for 13 goals and 5 assists in the Jupiler Pro League. This confirms the strong statistics he also recorded earlier in the Challenger Pro League and in Denmark. At Zulte Waregem, he also grew into a fan favorite as captain and was chosen as player of the season by the supporters last season. Jeppe Erenbjerg: “For me, this feels like the right step at the right time. K.R.C. Genk is a club with a clear identity, a lot of ambition and a way of playing that suits me. I have learned the Belgian competition and know what is asked of me. Now I want to use my experience and drive to play for the prizes here. I am ready to get my jersey wet for K.R.C. Genk and for the supporters.” Head of football Dimitri de Condé is happy that Erenbjerg makes the move to Limburg early in the mercato: “Jeppe brings something that every team is looking for: proven performance. He has shown in Denmark and in Belgium that he can be decisive with goals and assists. We bring in a player who is ready to be a valuable addition to our group from day one. On the pitch and off the pitch. That's why it's extra valuable that he can start the preparation from the beginning.”
