All parties had imagined it very differently: Jens Petter Hauge’s loan is about to end after just six months.
Because he did not get the chance he wanted at Eintracht Frankfurt and had noticeable adjustment problems in the Bundesliga, the SBU loaned Jens Petter Hauge to KAA Gent last summer. Similar to Daichi Kamada or Tuta, who did extremely well by moving to Belgium, Hauge should also get his career going there again.
But the reality is very different: the Norwegian has played in 18 competitive games for Gent so far, but he was only once in the starting XI. Gent coach Hein Vanhaezebrouck hinted last autumn that he was not satisfied with the loan – now the 58-year-old made it clear in a media round that the Norwegian would like to end the loan prematurely. “There will be a solution for him,” said Vanhaezebrouck.
The coming days and weeks will show what the solution should look like in concrete terms. However, a return to Frankfurt is hardly conceivable, since Hauge would not see a country in Oliver Glasner’s well-oiled offensive in the current constellation. Another loan seems to be the most realistic option – but no potential buyers are known at the moment.
