Bayern Munich have allowed Joshua Zirkzee to join Anderlecht on a season-long loan.

The 20-year-old is highly rated at Bayern, having spent last season at Parma.

"FC Bayern have loaned Joshua Zirkzee to RSC Anderlecht for a year without an option," Bayern stated on their official website.

"The 20-year-old striker is expected to gain more match practice with the Belgian record champions."

Bayern sports director Hasan Salihamidzic added: "It is very important for Joshua that he gets as much playing time as possible. RSC Anderlecht offer him this chance.

"Joshua can now take the next important step in his professional career in an interesting league, and I trust him to have a good season."
