Wilfried Kanga has completed a transfer from Gent, a club in the Belgian Pro League, to Saudi Arabian side Al-Fateh for approximately €4.5 million. The former Cardiff City striker struggled to find form during his time in Wales, failing to score in 16 appearances. Kanga's career has seen him play for several clubs, including Standard Liege and Dinamo Zagreb, where he had brief successes before his time at Gent, where he netted 12 goals in 39 appearances.
