Gent loses Wilfried Kanga to Al-Fateh for €4.5 million. The Ivorian striker signs a contract with the Saudi club. Kanga joined Gent in the summer of last year from Dinamo Zagreb and scored 12 times in 39 games for the club. The 28-year-old striker played on loan at Standard Luik and Cardiff City earlier. Gent will make a profit on the transfer of Kanga, but will likely need to sign a new striker to replace him. According to rumors, Max Dean may also leave Gent. Gent is currently 4th in the Jupiler Pro League with 3 points and 1 win out of 1 game. The club scored 2 goals and conceded 0. The next game is on 13 February 2027 against St. Truiden. Matisse Samoise is currently sidelined.
