Player ratings3 Aug 2026
Aimé Omgba scores twice — 8.43
Two goals and a mark of 8.43 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.
Transfer targets3 Aug 2026
KAA Gent make their move for Hicham Boudaoui
$7.4M on the table at OGC Nice. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Kashima Antlers tell KAA Gent: Yuma Suzuki is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.
Player ratings3 Aug 2026
Momodou Sonko, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 8.49
A mark of 8.49 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

A move Adnan Januzaj would have made for nothing
There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Adnan Januzaj is living that version at KAA Gent, and it tends to show in the first month.

KAA Gent turn down Piast for Max Dean
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Davy Roef in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at KAA Gent this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match1 Aug 2026
Aimé Omgba among the goals in a wild afternoon
6 goals in one match, Aimé Omgba on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of KAA Gent and Waasland-Beveren.
Match1 Aug 2026
KAA Gent see off Waasland-Beveren
Three points for KAA Gent, 4‑2 the final word against Waasland-Beveren in a contest settled by the finer margins.
In brief
