Genk<\/a>\u2019s Kevin De Bruyne<\/a> has revealed he is poised to join Chelsea<\/a> but concedes he may spend next season at fellow Belgian side Anderlecht.<\/span><\/p>\n

The winger is set to move to Stamford Bridge but will remain in his home nation to obtain European and regular first-team experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 19-year-old told Het Laatste Nieuws<\/em>: “I really want to go to Chelsea but the most important thing is that I can play regularly next season. Chelsea cannot offer me this guarantee, Anderlecht can. Also in Europe – in the Europa League.<\/span><\/p>\n

“In so far as there is a deal with Chelsea, Anderlecht is a good springboard in my career. On holiday in Crete, I had time to think about my future. I came to the conclusion that I am ready for a new challenge.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

De Bruyne admits a short-term switch to Anderlecht, who will allow their star striker Romelu Lukaku to move to Chelsea in a \u00a322million deal this summer, will act as a buoyant for his career in the Premier League.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I know also that Genk can play in the Champions League but then they have to go through two qualifying rounds. Honestly, in a deal with Chelsea, I see Anderlecht as a good springboard in my career.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I have to weigh up all the options with Genk and my agent but if I can better myself financially and footballing-wise, I hope that Genk would not stand in my way.”<\/span><\/p>\n
