Sambi made his first-team debut for Anderlecht in December 2017 and has been regular in their side over the past two seasons making a total of 78 appearances.
A Belgium U-21 international, Albert was called up at senior level in March 2021 when he was an unused substitute against Greece.
According to the Technical director Edu, he said, “We are delighted Albert has signed with us, there was a lot of interest in him and he was a big target for us. Albert is a player we’ve been tracking for some time, and he will bring us strength in depth in the center of midfield. We look forward to his continued development with us.”
Albert will be joining up with his new teammates in the coming days after he has completed the current isolation regulations for international arrivals in the UK.
Sambi will be wearing the No.23 shirt and have his name on the back.
