Exciting Winger Samuel Kalu Named To Team Of The Week In Belgium
Published: November 06, 2017
Nigerian winger Samuel Kalu has been named to the Belgian First Division A Team of the Week by voetbalkrant.com, following the last round of matches in the league.
Playing from the right wing, the 20-year-old put in a stellar performance as Gent beat Standard Liege 1-0 at the Ghelamco Arena on game week fourteen last Friday.
In a 4-2-3-1 formation, Kalu filled the right wing position and Gent teammate Mitrovic played on the right side of central defense.
The former AS Trencin wonderkid already has 32 appearances for Gent in all competitions since his debut in January 2017, scoring seven goals and has shown his creativity by providing eleven assists.
Kalu is considered one of Nigeria's most promising young players in Europe at the moment, and could gatecrash manager Gernot Rohr's World Cup roster if he continues to shine leading up to the tournament in Russia.
Despite his young age, Gent coaches have shown faith in him, starting him in 16 league games in 2017.
