Far from his Standard form, Wilfried Kanga will relaunch…under the orders of a world champion – The latest transfers

Wilfried Kanga is on a siding in Cardiff. He is preparing to relaunch in the Croatian championship.

Last season, Wilfried Kanga was one of the main satisfactions of the season. Standard. First all alone on his island then surrounded by Kelvin Yeboah, the Franco-Ivorian striker proved invaluable with his ability to weigh on a defense and keep the ball with his back to goal.

He even finished as the team’s top scorer with 12 goals. It is no coincidence that Ivan Leko hoped to be able to keep him for one more season. But the Croatian coach knew the mission would be almost impossible.

The future co-star of Samy Mmae and Marko Pjaca

Kanga belongs to Hertha Berlin (who spent five million to recruit him in 2022). This summer, the German club loaned him to Cardiff. Despite his profile which seemed cut out for Championship matches, the 26-year-old striker did not show his advantage in Wales.

After five starts in a row at the start of the season (not a single victory), the former Rouche never appeared again in the eleven. He even skipped the selection for the last match against Swansea, confirming the hypothesis of the early end of his loan.

He is about to relaunch at Dinamo Zagreb. Wilfried Kanga arrived in Croatia to sign his contract with Dinamo, coached by a certain Fabio Cannavaro. The future recruit is aiming for the league title but will have a lot to do: the team is currently third, seven points behind Rijeka and Hajduk Split.
