Wilfried Kanga Impresses at Standard: Could He Be the Next Romelu Lukaku?

Wilfried Kanga has impressed in recent weeks at Standard. Against Club Bruges (2-1), the Ivorian striker, author of the assist on Isaac Price’s goal, delivered a solid performance.

The attacker on loan from Hertha Berlin can, thanks to his physical impact, keep the ball with his back to goal and can also push back the opposing defense.

Alexandre Teklak, who followed the meeting between Liégeois and Bruges, did not hesitate to compare the Rouches striker to a certain Romelu Lukaku: “He’s a support player. They’re profiles like that, like Romelu Lukaku, on whom the more mobile players can rely. They have someone who can keep a ball for them, make the others play.

Before continuing: “He is a powerful attacker, who has a strong back to goal. He is capable of unbalancing a defense and turning an opponent around using his body.”

Loan without purchase option

Unfortunately for Standard, Wilfried Kanga, author of 3 goals and 2 assists in 8 matches, is loaned without purchase option by Hertha Berlin. But it is obvious that the Liège club will try to keep the 25-year-old striker if he continues at such a level.
