Union Saint-Gilloise has made a significant addition to their attacking lineup by signing the 22-year-old Ghanaian striker Mohammed Fuseini from Austrian club Sturm Graz.
The club announced the transfer on Wednesday, confirming that Fuseini has signed a contract extending until 2027, with an additional year included as an option.
Fuseini’s journey to Union Saint-Gilloise marks a new chapter in his budding career. The young forward initially joined Sturm Graz in 2022, but his time there was marked by a modest goal tally, with 3 goals in 27 appearances.
Despite this, Fuseini demonstrated his potential during a loan spell at Denmark’s Randers FC last season, where he found the back of the net 9 times in just 16 matches.
This impressive performance in the Danish Superliga highlighted his ability to thrive and score in competitive environments, catching the eye of Union Saint-Gilloise scouts.
The addition of Fuseini is part of a broader strategy by Union Saint-Gilloise to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
He is the fourth new arrival at Parc Duden during this summer transfer window, following the signings of goalkeeper Vic Chambaere and midfielder Kamiel Van De Perre from Racing Genk U23, and Israeli fullback Anan Khalaili from Maccabi Haifa.
Union Saint-Gilloise fans will be eager to see how Fuseini adapts to the Belgian Pro League and integrates with the team’s playing style.
Known for his pace, agility, and keen eye for goal, Fuseini brings a fresh dynamic to the squad’s attacking options. His ability to operate effectively as a striker, coupled with his experience in different European leagues, positions him as a valuable asset for the club.
The club’s head coach expressed his optimism about the new signing, stating, “Mohammed Fuseini is a talented young striker with a lot of potential. His performance at Randers FC last season shows that he has the capability to make a significant impact. We are excited to see him bring his skills and energy to Union Saint-Gilloise.”
Fuseini himself shared his enthusiasm about joining the Belgian side, saying, “I am thrilled to be a part of Union Saint-Gilloise. The club has a rich history and a strong fan base. I am looking forward to contributing to the team’s success and continuing to develop my career here.”
This transfer not only bolsters Union Saint-Gilloise’s offensive lineup but also reflects the club’s ambition to compete at higher levels in domestic and possibly European competitions. With Fuseini’s addition, the team hopes to improve on their previous season’s performance and aim for higher achievements.
The upcoming season will be crucial for Fuseini as he seeks to prove himself in a new league and justify the faith placed in him by the club.
His previous experiences in Austria and Denmark have prepared him well for this challenge, and Union Saint-Gilloise supporters will eagerly watch how this promising talent progresses in the months ahead.
As the new season approaches, Union Saint-Gilloise’s management and fans alike are optimistic that the fresh influx of talent will bring about a successful campaign.
The signing of Mohammed Fuseini is a testament to the club’s forward-thinking approach and dedication to building a competitive and exciting squad.
