Dennis Appiah confirms Anderlecht stay despite Ligue 1 rumours

Ghanaian defender Dennis Appiah has confirmed he is staying with Belgian champions Anderlecht.

The right-back has been linked with a return to the French Ligue 1 after a successful season in Belgium.

Appiah made 17 appearances last term in his first year having arrived from Caen.

"Personally, I was never contacted," Appiah is quoted by La Dernière Heure.

"My goal has always been to play and then play in the UEFA Champions League during my second year. That's what will happen."
