Manchester City's Mohammed Abu is open to the idea of going out on loan at Anderlecht, as he continues to work on his game.

The 20-year-old Ghana midfielder has spent the last two years on City's books, but they are keen for him to gain first-team experience away from the Etihad Stadium.

Much of his football to date has come with Norwegian side Stromgodset, with two stints allowing him to catch the eye.

Belgian giants Anderlecht who have qualified for the UEFA Champions League in 2012/13 are one of his suitors and Abu is aware of their interest in his services.

"I know that Anderlecht have been to watch me," Abu told Het Nieuwsblad.

"I hope I can convince them to take me because I will soon be returning to Manchester.

"They (City) want me to play in a stronger league and speed up my development."

However, a number of other sides keeping a close eye on his situation, with scouts from Holland, Spain and Scotland weighing up the merits of a loan approach.

"There have been Dutch teams in the stands, and Spanish and Scottish teams are also interested, but Anderlecht would be a nice opportunity.

"I don't know their players, but I know that they are a team that challenges for the title every year and compete in Europe."
