RAAL La Louvière count on Ghana star Jerry Afriyie for Belgian Cup test against Royal Antwerp tonight

RAAL La Louvière will be banking on the youthful brilliance of Ghanaian striker Jerry Afriyie as they prepare for a daunting Belgian Cup quarter-final clash against Royal Antwerp on Tuesday night at the Bosuil Stadium.

The highly rated 18-year-old, who is on loan from Saudi Arabian side Al-Qadsiah, has emerged as one of La Louvière’s most reliable attacking outlets in what has been a challenging debut season in the Belgian Pro League. Despite the club’s struggles for consistency, Afriyie’s energy, pace and fearless approach have consistently stood out, earning him a key role in the squad ahead of one of their biggest matches of the campaign.

Afriyie has already netted two goals since joining La Louvière, quickly adapting to Belgian football after his move from Spanish side CD Lugo. His ability to stretch defences with direct runs, coupled with his composure in front of goal, has made him a constant threat and a crucial figure in La Louvière’s attacking plans.

The young forward’s rise has been rapid. During his loan spell at CD Lugo in Spain’s second tier, Afriyie impressed with four goals and two assists in just 10 appearances, performances that accelerated his development and boosted his reputation across Europe. His form at club level has been matched by his progress on the international stage.

Widely regarded as one of Ghana’s brightest emerging talents, Afriyie shone with the Black Satellites at U-20 level before earning a swift promotion to the senior Black Stars. He has since made a promising start to his international career, underlining his potential to become a key figure for both club and country in the years ahead.

As RAAL La Louvière travel to Antwerp for a stern test against one of Belgium’s most established sides, all eyes will be on Afriyie to provide inspiration and cutting edge in attack. With his confidence growing and his reputation rising, the teenager could yet play a decisive role as La Louvière chase a historic place in the Belgian Cup semi-finals.
