<br>Kano-born striker Umar Abubakar delivered another standout performance by scoring twice in KAA Gent youth team’s dominant 4-0 win over Lyra Lierse Berlaar in the Belgian youth league. His brace takes his season tally to 19 goals, [underlining](https://trevorjd.com/index.php/User:LatoyaDerosa630) his status as one of Nigeria’s brightest U-20 attacking prospects in Europe.

<br>Abubakar’s consistent finishing and movement in the final third have drawn attention from scouts and [analysts](https://r12imob.store/index.php?page=user&action=pub_profile&id=765843) across Europe. The young forward’s form has positioned him as a strong contender for a Nigeria U-20 national team call up.

<br>His performance not only secured a convincing victory for Gent but also further cemented his growing reputation within the club’s youth system, which has a history of nurturing elite talent.

<br>Editorial
<br>
<br>Umar Abubakar is [proving](https://pyra-handheld.com/wiki/index.php/User:JaysonMcClemens) that [scoring goals](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/national-team-news/nigerias-all-time-top-10-super-eagles-goal-scorers/) isn’t just a phase it’s a habit. With 19 goals this season, the young striker has built a strong case as Nigeria’s next breakout forward from Europe’s youth leagues. What’s most striking is not just the goals themselves, but the consistency and maturity behind them.

<br>While many young players show [flashes](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/international-nigerian-footballers/river-plates-young-striker-eyes-flying-eagles-call-up-after-swift-rise/) of brilliance, Abubakar is delivering week in, week out. That kind of [reliability](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/sports-betting/bet9ja/bet9ja-promotion-code/) is what separates promise from potential. Gent’s youth system has long been a springboard for professional success, and Abubakar seems poised to follow that trajectory.
<br>
<br>If the Nigeria U-20 coaching staff are watching and they should be then a call-up may not be far off. And if he continues like this, Gent’s senior team could be next on the horizon.
