Aristote Nkaka Bazunga (born 27 March 1996) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Belgian First Division A club Waasland-Beveren, on loan from Anderlecht.[4] Mainly a defensive midfielder, he can also play as a centre back.

Club career[]

Nkaka signed for Mouscron in June 2015, arriving from the Club Brugge academy.[5] He scored his first goal in a 2–1 loss against his previous club, Brugge, on 26 January 2017.[6]

On 17 July 2019, Nkaka was loaned to Segunda División side UD Almería from Anderlecht, for one year.[7] He made his debut for the club on 17 August, coming off the bench and scoring the third in a 3–0 home defeat of Albacete Balompié.[8]

On 26 August 2019, Nkaka's loan with the Andalusians was terminated due to the club's change of ownership,[9] and agreed to a one-year loan deal with fellow league team Racing de Santander just hours later.[10]

On 31 August 2021, he joined Waasland-Beveren on loan with an option to buy.[11]

Nkaka was born in Belgium and is of Congolese descent.[12]
