Belgian side Gent snap up Nigerian winger Philip Azango

Belgian First Division A side Gent have signed Philip Azango from Trencin on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

The young Nigeria striker made 22 league appearances, scoring thrice last season for the Slovak outfit.

This term, the forward has notched three goals in eight Europa League games although the efforts were not enough to help the Stadion na Sihoti outfit progress to the group stage of the competition.

On Friday, the Buffalos announced the acquisition of the forward, thus, following the footsteps of his compatriots Moses Simon and Samuel Kalu who both moved from Trencin to join the side.
