Output in context · Gent finished 5th of 6 · a relegation-threatened side
12 goals in 36 appearances (0.33 per game) is double figures — and for a relegation-threatened side (5th of 6), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 16 goal contributions (0.44 per appearance).
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 76.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Final-third output. 0.51 goal contributions per 90 (0.38 goals, 0.13 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 43.7, Kanga carries the 21st-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Jupiler Pro League of 31, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Gent finished 5th of 6) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.51 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
