William Popp, a 31-year-old goalkeeper, is set to transfer to Beerschot. The transfer is set to take place even though the Belgian transfer window has closed. His former club, Shonan Bellmare, has announced the transfer. The goalkeeper joined Shonan in the summer and started as the first-choice player before being benched after a few matches; the club was ultimately relegated from Japan's top division. Sponichi reports that William Popp will join K Beerschot VA in the Challenger Pro League (D2), where he is expected to replace Emile Doucouré, who recently departed for Genk.
