Ghanaian Youngster Strikes In Debut

Ghanaian youngster and, Manchester City loanee, Yaw Yaboah, has set his sight on scoring more goals after his opening strike for FC Twente  in the Dutch Eredivise.


The Ghana youth international forward, unleashed a thunderbolt  from just outside the box in a 3- 1 win for Twente at home to a toothless Spartha.


The Ghanaian import joined the Dutch outfit from Manchester City in search of playing time, and has so far exceeded all expectations since arriving from the Itihad in the summer.


The attacking hotshot openly admitted to the ardent task ahead of him but revealed his readiness to sustain his impeccable form in the division.


Speaking to reporters after his debut goal for the Eredivise side, Yaw expressed his excitement after the opening goal and reiterated the need to keep his form going into the latter stages of the season.


“It was a fantastic goal and a great feeling to score my first goal. I hope it continues like this.


“As an attacker, I have to score and provide assists and that is exactly what I have done.


” I only need to stay focused and work hard to keep my form across the season.”


The teen sensation spent last season on loan  at Lille and has since been farmed out to the Dutch side in search of playing time.


Manchester City manager, Joseph Pep Guardiola, hinted at giving extended playing time to the Ghanaian forward in the coming campaign after taking over from Manuel Pellegrini.

Exclusive: Dutch Side Signs Ghanaian Youngster

Ghanaian youngster, Reagy Baah Ofosu, has inked a two-year deal with Dutch side NEC Nejmigen.


The 24-year-old German-born Ghanaian joined the Eredivise side on a free transfer after seeing off his contract with Austrian side, SV Grodrig at the end of the 2015/16 European season.

“With Reagy, we get creative, fast attacker in the house that is used primarily on the left side, but also on the right or shadow striker from the feet.”


Ofosu joins in the selection training camp in Garderen later in the week.


He could likely be partnered up-front by another Ghanaian, with Quincy Owusu Abeyie, inches away from a professional contract.

Go Ahead Eagles Ends Jonathan Opoku’s Eredivise Dreams

Rampant Ghanaian youngster Jonathan Opoku saw his hopes of sealing top-flight football shuttered by Go Ahead Eagles in the Netherlands.


The VV Venlo attacking hot shot,enjoyed a breakthrough season with his second tier side but ended the season in tears after a last minute leveler from Randy Wolters ousted Venlo from the play offs.


Opoku failed to replicate his prolific campaign in the league which saw him register an impressive 14 league goals across the season in a heartbreaking 2-2 thriller at home to the Eagles.


Eagles made the trip for the return leg in the play off with a 1-0 win to their name but soon doubled their lead moments into the return leg.


Two quick strikes from the hosts however turned the score on its head before Wolters ended the promotion ambitions of the home side with a 90 minute equalizer.


Jonathan Opoku and his Venlo colleagues thus missed out on the only remaining ticket to the Eredivise whiles GO Ahead Eagles lock horns with Degraafshaft in the last four stages.


The Ghanaian has been a reported target for a number of European clubs and could seal a summer switch in the upcoming transfer window.
