Zinho Gano

Zinho Gano

Zinho Gano anchors the frontline, attacking space and holding up long balls to feed runners. He uses his 1.98m frame as a traditional number 9. Zinho Gano reads defenders well. Zinho Gano developed at Club Brugge before breaking through at Beveren, scoring 11 goals in the 2016–17 season. He moved to Genk in 2018 for about £1.62 million and helped the team win the Belgian First Division A title in 2018–19. A loan spell at Royal Antwerp in 2019 and a productive stint at Zulte Waregem, including 13 goals in 2021–22, mark turning points. Zinho Gano earned his Guinea-Bissau debut in March 2022. Now with Al-Raed, Gano acts as a target man who pins centre-backs and finishes moves.
