Badji: Senegal teenage sensation crowned Club Brugge Player of the Month

Senegal teenage sensation Youssouph Badji has been named Club Brugge's Player of the Month for August as a reward for his goalscoring exploits in his first month in the Belgian First Division A.

Badji claimed his maiden individual award in Europe after contributing two goals and an assist in his first four league outings in Philippe Clement's team this season.

The 18-year-old moved to the Jan Breydel Stadium from Senegalese outfit Casa Sports in January, but he was made to wait for his competitive debut until August 1 when Club Brugge bowed to a 1-0 loss against Royal Antwerp in the Belgian Cup final.
