The 24-year-old forward proposed a move to Greece to join Panathinaikos to reunite with former boss Laszlo Boloni.

Lamkel Ze was recently quoted by Talk Sport:

“It’s simple: I want to go to Greece. I have given my personal agreement. Don’t play with my career.”

He did not travel to Greece and Antwerp were not ready to let go but as Lamkel Ze returned to training the unbelievable happened.

The striker was escorted out of the club's training complex after trying to force his way into the entrance with securities holding him off.

Images of the scene posted on social media which did not go down well with the club's hierarchy.
