Kaye Furo, the son of former Super Eagles defender Furo Iyenemi, has set his sights on becoming the top scorer in the Belgian second division this season. The 17 year old striker, who joined Club Brugge from Antwerp seven years ago, has already made an impact, scoring four goals in as many matches for Club NXT, Brugge’s second tier team.
In an interview with Het Nieuwsblad, Furo expressed his ambition to finish the season as the league’s top scorer. He said, I feel good about myself and dare to show my true colours. I would simply love to become the top scorer in 1B. That may be a high expectation, but it is a goal for me.
Furo’s most recent goal came against Seraing, and he feels in excellent condition as he continues to find his form alongside his teammates.
Editorial
Kaye Furo’s ambition to become the top scorer in the Belgian second division is both bold and inspiring. As the son of former Super Eagles star Furo Iyenemi, he has a footballing pedigree, but his recent performances show that he’s carving his path. His hunger for success and willingness to set high expectations are signs of a young player with great potential.
His strong form early in the season, with four goals in four matches, is impressive for a 17 year old, and if he continues at this pace, he could well achieve his goal of finishing as the league’s top scorer. Club Brugge’s development system has produced numerous talents, and Furo could be the next big star to emerge from their ranks.
His progress will be closely watched, not just in Belgium but by football fans in Nigeria who will be hoping he follows in his father’s footsteps and achieves great things in his career.
