Makaab said:

"When we had our discussions with Brugge before Shandre signed for the club, what impressed us more than anything was that they had a plan for Shandre. There's little doubt in my mind that if Shandre applies himself and continues to progress, he'll play for Club Brugge sooner rather than later."
