Belgian Pro League 2026/2027 Preview: Union St Gilloise

Belgian Pro League 2026/2027 Preview: Union St Gilloise Union St Gilloise will be one of the title challengers this season. The side missed out last season to Club Brugge, but did pick up the domestic cup. David Hubert’s side have replenished the squad with a decent array of talent from a variety of leagues. While the window remains open for another month, Union St Gilloise will likely see bids coming in for key players. Yet, most of these players replacements are already in the squad. Transfers in: Herve Koffi (Lens, loan), Keo Boets (Dessel), Nohim Chibani (Quevilly), Relebohile Mofokeng (Orlando Pirates), Darius Olaru (FCSB), Ilan Hurtevent (Kortrijk), Ondrej Kricfalusi (Banik Ostrava), Nikki Havenaar (Ried) Transfers out: Mamadou Barry (Al Shabab, loan), Kjell Scherpen (Ipswich), Jens Teunckens (free), Christian Burgess (Gent) Key player: Adem Zorgane Zorgane was a fantastic pick up by Union St Gilloise last season. The 26-year-old Algerian proved himself to be one of the best central midfielders in the league. Union St Gilloise will need him to be that again this year as they push for the title. Zorgane provided Union St Gilloise with four goals and nine assists last season. A similar campaign will be a big boost for the side. Young player to watch: Relebohile Mofokeng Relebohile Mofokeng pretty much left the World Cup straight for Brussels to join Union St Gilloise this summer. The 21-year-old forward is highly rated and will have an entire country behind him whenever he takes to the pitch. He’s already announced himself to the Union faithful by scoring the winning penalty in the Super Cup. His impact may be limited to coming off the bench to start with, but if Anan Khalaili leaves he should be in line for a bump in minutes. GBeNeFN  |  Ben Jackson
