Spanish top-flight side Granada have signed talented youngster Mubarak Alhassan from Ghana Premier League club, Liberty Professionals for an undisclosed fee.
The deal was finalised on Thursday with the 18-year-old signing a five-year contract.
“This is the best moment in my career to make this move because everyone wants an opportunity like this,” he told Citi Sports.
“At an early age, I have always wanted to play for clubs in Spain because I see myself as an [Andres] Iniesta type of player and I was given that name too so I think it’s the best place for me to develop as at now,” Alhassan concluded.
Alhassan has been a long-term target of Granda, who will be playing in Europe next season, because of his impressive performances in the Ghana Premier League in his debut season.
He scored five goals and provided five assists in 12 league games before the season was cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic.
He is expected to fly out to join his new teammates as soon as the borders are opened.
