Ghanaian forward Jerry Afriyie has become a transfer target for a Belgian top-flight club ahead of the 2026/27 season after an impressive breakthrough campaign in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League.
The 19-year-old striker has returned to his parent club, Al Qadsiah, following a successful 10-month loan spell with RAAL La Louviere. During his time in Belgium, Afriyie established himself as one of the league’s most promising young attacking players and drew attention with a series of encouraging performances.
Afriyie played 31 matches in all competitions for RAAL La Louviere, completing 2,497 minutes on the pitch. He scored five goals and provided one assist during the loan period.
His progress has placed him on the radar of clubs looking for emerging African talent. The Ghana U20 international impressed with his pace, movement and technical quality, while his confidence in front of goal added to his appeal as a developing striker.
Afriyie’s performances have also helped raise his profile beyond his club. One of the clearest examples came in a match against Belgian giants Club Brugge, when he produced a match-winning contribution in a memorable display.
That performance underlined the qualities that have made him an increasingly attractive prospect in Belgium. His ability to threaten opponents with his pace, combine movement with technical skill and remain composed in attacking situations has contributed to the growing interest in his services.
Afriyie’s return to Al Qadsiah comes after a season in which regular football at RAAL La Louviere gave him valuable exposure in the Belgian top flight. His five goals and one assist formed the statistical record of his spell, while his all-round displays made a wider impression among clubs monitoring young players.
Although he was not involved in Ghana’s final stages of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign, his steady form at club level has continued to improve his standing across Europe.
The interest from Belgium comes as Afriyie begins the next stage of his career with Al Qadsiah. With a full breakthrough campaign behind him and a Belgian top-flight club now monitoring his situation, the forward’s performances in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League have provided a platform for further movement in the 2026/27 transfer window.
