Le KAA Gent a officiellement annonc\u00e9 la signature du jeune international letton Mi\u0137elis Kri\u0161j\u0101nis Menniks, qui a d\u00e9marr\u00e9 cette saison en pr\u00eat \u00e0 Skanstes SK, en provenance de FK Metta.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Le milieu gaucher de 16 ans est actuellement en stage avec la s\u00e9lection U19 de la Lettonie pour le tournoi de qualification \u00e0 l\u2019UEFA European Under-19 Championship 2027, \u00e0 Saint-Marin. Cette saison marquait sa premi\u00e8re exp\u00e9rience dans le football senior : quatre apparitions en Latvian First League et deux passes d\u00e9cisives, toutes deux lors d\u2019une victoire 6-1 contre R\u0113zeknes FA.<\/p>\n

Menniks, qui f\u00eatera ses 17 ans la semaine prochaine, faisait aussi partie de l\u2019\u00e9quipe de FS Metta sacr\u00e9e championne de la Baltic Youth Football League U16 l\u2019an dernier. Sur la sc\u00e8ne internationale, il totalise d\u00e9j\u00e0 10 s\u00e9lections avec la Lettonie U17, pour deux buts.<\/p>\n

Dans son communiqu\u00e9 officiel, Gand a confirm\u00e9 que Menniks rejoindra Jong KAA Gent la saison prochaine – l\u2019\u00e9quipe r\u00e9serve du club, engag\u00e9e en deuxi\u00e8me division belge.<\/p>\n

Surnomm\u00e9 \u00ab The Buffaloes \u00bb, Gand reste l\u2019un des clubs historiques de Belgique, m\u00eame s\u2019il n\u2019a remport\u00e9 le championnat belge qu\u2019une seule fois dans son histoire, en plus de quatre Coupes de Belgique. Cette saison, le club lutte \u00e0 nouveau pour une qualification europ\u00e9enne et occupe actuellement la sixi\u00e8me place du groupe championnat, avec trois matches \u00e0 disputer. KV Mechelen le devance \u00e0 \u00e9galit\u00e9 de points, tandis que RSC Anderlecht compte deux points d\u2019avance suppl\u00e9mentaires.<\/p>\n

Les fans de football balte se souviennent aussi de Gand pour les qualifications de l\u2019UEFA Europa Conference League 2021\/22 : le club belge avait \u00e9cart\u00e9 RFS de justesse (3-2 cumul\u00e9) au troisi\u00e8me tour qualificatif. Plus tard, lors de la phase de groupes de la m\u00eame saison, Gand avait \u00e9galement battu FC Flora Tallinn \u00e0 deux reprises sur le score de 1-0.<\/p>\n

Le club compte aussi dans ses rangs Maksim Pa\u0161kot\u0161i, m\u00eame si la saison du d\u00e9fenseur international estonien s\u2019est termin\u00e9e pr\u00e9matur\u00e9ment \u00e0 cause d\u2019une blessure.<\/p>\n
