The Belgian attacker was a bet on the future of Celta, who arrived at just 19 years old in January 2015. The Vigo club looked in Bongonda for the future replacement of a Nolito who would end up leaving a year later to Manchester City. However, the young Belgian promise left only specific details of his potential and was overshadowed by the signing of Pione Sisto. In June 2017 he was loaned to Trabzonspor and from there he would return home. And back in his natural environment, Bongonda became the overflowing winger he was aiming for in his early days. To this he added goals to appear as one of the most outstanding attackers in the Belgian championship. With Onuachu-Ito-Bongonda, Genk have assembled an attacking trident that has guaranteed them 60 goals. The footballer of Gabonese descent has reached his prime at the age of 25.
At the same age, Jensen has just celebrated the rise of Brentford, who has taken advantage of the talent of the young Danish midfielder who only served one year on his contract in Vigo. Injuries prevented him from fighting for a fixed place in the eleven of a Celta with many ups and downs during the 2018-19 season, which began under the technical direction of Antonio Mohamed, continued with Miguel Cardoso and ended with Fran Escribá. The Danish only played 6 games with the celestial team, which transferred him to the English club for about five million euros, an amount similar to that paid in his acquisition.
Jensen has played 45 games (35 as a starter), scoring 2 goals and giving 7 assists with a Championship team that returns to the top flight 74 years later. London will have six teams in the top flight next season: Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, West Ham, Crystal Palace and Brentford. And the success of this team lies in the meticulous handling of numbers and statistics. It is owned by Matthew Benham, a billionaire math specialist who also runs Midtjylland. Celta is a reference for Benham, as he took Jota Peleteiro before Jensen and recovered Pione Sisto to reinforce the Danish champion.
Another hot Belgian football fan is Hjulsager, for whom Anderlecht and KAA Gent are fighting after their excellent season at Oostende, with which they scored 7 goals and provided 12 assists. At 26 years old, this Dane who signed for Celta in January 2017, has found in Belgium the continuity that was denied him in Vigo and in Granada, where he left on loan from the celestial ones.
During his stay in Vigo, Hjulsager found support in his countrymen, but not the confidence necessary to take over from Wass and Krohn-Dehli. “I get along very well with Jensen and Pione Sisto because we had coincided in the Denmark national team, but the three of us are part of a group in which we feel fully integrated with the rest of our teammates,” said the Dane before heading to Belgium. , a country to which Theo Bongonda has returned. The two, along with Jensen, make up a trio of talented young people who barely left details of their technical quality in Vigo. Celta only served as a springboard for their successful careers in other European leagues.
