Belgium league giants Club Brugge have handed professional deal to 17 told Nigerian forward Kaye Furo, who is the son of former Nigeria international defender Furo Iyenemi.
“Kaye Furo has signed a new agreement with Club Brugge. The 17-year-old striker signs a contract until 2027”, the club announced on their website.
“Furo made the switch from Antwerp to Club NXT in 2017 and signed his first professional contract here in 2022. Since the 2023 – 2024 season, it has been part of the U23 core. Furo is seen as a great talent in the attacking compartment, with proof of his two goals on the opening game day of the Challenger Pro League against Lokeren-Temse last Saturday”.
His father represented Nigeria at the 2000 AFCON playing all of the games for the team who were beaten on penalties by Cameroon in the final. He was subsequently drafted to the U23 team for their campaign at the Olympics the same year.
It remains to be seen if Kaye who has a Belgian mother and was born in Belgium will follow the footsteps of his father in playing for Nigeria, or build his international career with Belgium where he is already a part of their U17 team.
