The 2019--2020 season was by far Lawrence Shankland's best so far. "That's correct. The goals just kept coming and coming. 24 in 26 games, with three hattricks on top. It was a fantastic campaign. I remember scoring four goals on my league debut. A tradition I'd like to do all over again when I play my first match for Beerschot", he smiles. Last season he scored seven goals and made four in the Scottish Premeriship.
"Lawrence is a prolific goal scorer and that is what Beerschot needs at the moment", technical manager Sander Van Praet acknowledges. "He is still only 25 years old so he can still make progression. He is a real killer in the box. We expect lots of goals from him."
"The type of forward we have been looking for for a while", chairman Francis Vrancken adds. "Lawrence came on our radar through United World and the negotiations have taken quite a bit of time, so, we are relieved and very happy we are now able to welcome him at Beerschot."
