Gent signs Lars Cooman, a 23-year-old left-back from FC Knokke. Cooman is a Gent native who went through several training centers in his youth, including those of KAA Gent, Anderlecht, and Zulte Waregem. He played two seasons for KRC Gent and grew into one of the better players in the First National division. Cooman combined his defensive tasks with a large offensive contribution and was good for eleven goals and seven assists in 31 games last season. With his versatility, young age, and Belgian nationality, Cooman fits the profile that KAA Gent is looking for for the future. After two strong seasons on the coast, he now gets the chance to prove himself at a higher level. The transfer of Cooman is a good thing for Gent, as he brings a lot of experience and quality. Gent will now have to take advantage of Cooman's qualities and give him an important role in the team. The arrival of Cooman is also a good thing for Gent's fans, as he is a player with a lot of potential who can contribute to the club's success.
