Inter and Benfica battle for Anderlecht hotshot

Belgian newspaper La Dernier Heure reports that Inter Milan and Benfica are watching Anderlecht starlet David Henen.

The talented forward is regarded as one of the hottest prospects to have come out of club’s youth academy in recent years and has long ago caught the eye of top European clubs.

Henen even admitted to rejecting an offer to join Manchester United in the past, but it looks as though he will be leaving Belgium after all.

According to La Dernier Heure, Inter Milan and Benfica are both keeping close tabs on the 16-year-old striker.

The two clubs have had the player watched on a number of occasions this season and they are expected to step up their interest in the summer transfer window.

Henen, who has already represented Anderlecht Under-19s in the Next Gen Series, has a contract until June 2015 at Constant Vanden Stock, but the Belgian giants face a real battle to keep hold of their prized asset.
