In the past week, Belgium has taken two talents from England. But more specifically, London. England U20 Harrison Murray-Campbell has joined KV Kortrijk on a season long loan from Chelsea. On the other hand, England U16 talent Emmanuel Fejokwu has joined KV Club NXT (Club Brugge U23s) from West Ham United. Emmanuel will join Club NXT who compete in the Challenger Pro League, a big move for the young defender. However, Harrison Murray-Campbell joins Kortrijk for some first team experience in the Belgian Pro League.
Harrison Murray-Campbell Makes His Move:
Kortrijk have labelled Harrison's transfer as a 'strengthening' one, with the idea that he will improve them. The 19 year old will hopefully slot straight into their backline. He achieved 7 goals and 5 assists with Chelsea U21s last season and made his first team debut in 2024. He's a natural leader. Captaining Chelsea and England U20s. Here's what he had to say about joining KVK! 'I am a player with a real winning mentality. I like to take the initiative on the ball and I'm aggressive in duels. I expect us to be a hard working team. And the fans to get behind us every game. And I want to win every week and get the three points.' Harrison will take the number 4 shirt.
Emmanuel Fejokwu Joins Club NXT:
England U16 baller Emmanuel Fejokwu has joined Club NXT on a long term deal, until 2029. A versatile defender who can play CB or RB, Fejokwu was born in the Netherlands before moving to London then signing for West Ham. Fejokwu has represented both the Netherlands and England at U15 and U16 level. Fejokwu left his mark at the Academy Of Football by saying 'After nine wonderful years, It's time to say goodbye'. Originally Sacha Tavolieri broke the news. West Ham were unable to tempt him into signing a pro deal as he wasn't old enough. However, NXT weren't the only team to gain interest in him, Ajax, Utrecht, PSV, AC and Inter Milan, Bayer Leverkusen and Copenhagen were reportedly all vying for his signature. You could almost feel that a transfer was inevitable.
