Ghanaian youngster Jerry Afriyie has expressed optimism about his transfer to Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsiah FC, stating that the move aligns with his career development goals.
Afriyie, who completed his switch to the Saudi outfit earlier this week, believes that football is thriving in the Middle East, and he sees his new journey as a crucial step in his career.
“I see this project similar to what brought me out. I’m focused on my development and the timing. I think football is doing well everywhere, especially here, and I must definitely start from somewhere,” Afriyie said in an interview as quoted by Ghanasoccernet.
The talented forward, who has impressed with his performances for the Black Satellites, is expected to play a vital role for Al-Qadsiah in the near future.
The Ghanaian sensation has signed a three-year deal, committing him to the club until the summer of 2028. He will, however, join Spanish third-tier club CD Lugo on loan for the rest of the season.
