FC Basel have completed the signing of Ghana U-20 midfielder Emmanuel Essiam on a long-term contract.
The club in the last few weeks stepped up its pursuit of the talented midfielder and has now announced a permanent deal to secure him for four years.
“Welcome to FCB, Sali Emmanuel! He is only 18 years old but already has the skills of a seasoned player. His role model on the pitch is Paul Pogba, and that’s exactly how Emmanuel Essiam wants to appear: With an overview, his athleticism and a good dose of callousness, he should help pull the strings in the FCB game from the central midfield in the near future.
