Former Cardiff City forward Wilfried Kanga is set to make a high-profile move to Saudi Arabia's Al-Fateh, reports claim. The 28-year-old Ivorian striker, who struggled during his time at Cardiff, is expected to join the Saudi Arabian side for around €4.5m, according to HLN. Kanga's journey to Al-Fateh began when he left Gent in Belgium's Pro League, where he had spent last summer after joining the team from Dinamo Zagreb.
Despite impressing with 12 goals in 37 games for Gent, the striker's time in Wales proved to be less successful, as he failed to score in 16 appearances for Cardiff. After a brief stint with Dinamo Zagreb, Kanga returned to Gent, where he scored 12 goals in 39 games. Al-Fateh's acquisition of Kanga presents an opportunity for the Saudi Arabian club to enhance their squad significantly, with the Ivorian player now looking forward to a lucrative new contract.
