Ghana international Mohammed Fuseini believes a loan move to Randers in 2024 shaped him into the player he is at the moment.

The 23-year-old joined Randers in a temporary move away from Sturm Graz during the 2024 winter transfer window.

The forward made great strides in Denmark, scoring nine goals and providing one assist in 16 league games. Those performances propelled him to eventually secure a move to Belgian side Royale Union Saint-Gilloise last summer.

"I knew the assistant coach at Randers. He always wanted me to move there and play for them. But the first time they approached me, a deal didn’t happen; it happened the following year. I knew it was the perfect time for me to go and showcase in the Danish League," he told Joy Sports.

"During a point in the season at Randers, my agent told me about the interest from Royale Union Saint-Gilloise. I knew I was going to transfer there, and I started watching some of their games.

"USG’s interest in me pushed me to perform even better. After hearing they wanted me, I felt that if I pushed a bit harder, I could get a better offer from them, and I knew it was the best option for me at that time."

Fuseini's move to Randers was on the back of struggling for game time at Sturm Graz after returning from an injury spell.
