Nigerian Forward Nears Move to Gent in Transfer Shake-up
Belgium’s KAA Gent is in the spotlight again as they prepare to welcome a new Nigerian striker, potentially filling the void left by Gift Orban’s departure, according to recent transfer reports.
The latest update from Belgium suggests that negotiations are underway for Anosike Ementa, a Nigerian-born forward with Danish roots, currently plying his trade with Viborg FF until 2026.
Ementa’s journey in professional football saw him move from Aalborg to Viborg FF, where he made 37 appearances for the senior team without finding the net.
However, this season has been a breakthrough for him, with eight goals and four assists in 25 games for Viborg’s first team.
If the deal materializes, Ementa could be the latest addition to Gent’s roster, showcasing the club’s growing reputation as a platform for Nigerian talents to shine on the European stage.
