Anderlecht have ruled out in the race for Chelsea winger Kevin de Bruyne in January.

The London Evening Standard says De Bruyne is waiting until December before making a decision on his future, but if he does leave as expected, he won't be returning to Belgium.

It is believed his former club Genk, who sold him to Chelsea for £7m in January 2012, stipulated that he wouldn't ever play for any of their rivals on loan as part of the transfer.
