Manchester City great Vincent Kompany is pouring a cool €3m from his personal fortune into Anderlecht.

DH reports player-manager Kompany and new president Wouter Vandenhaute will commit €3m each to plans of raising €20m from several shareholders. There's a confidence the needed €14m will come from other high-profile stakeholders.

The board has also agreed to make €70m to the club for the new season.

Anderlecht finished eighth this season - their first with Kompany in charge.
