The youngster has joined the Serie A struggling side in a four-year deal after an incredible performance in Austria
Italian-born striker of Ghanaian descent Kelvin Kwarteng Yeboah has joined Serie A side Genoa from Austrian club Sturm Graz on a four-year deal worth €6.5 million, the two clubs have announced.
The 21-year-old sealed the deal on Saturday after passing the club’s medical check up before putting pen to paper.
Yeboah has become the second Ghanaian to play for Genoa this season after striker Caleb Ekuban who has been sold to Konyaspor after a slow start to the season.
Yeboah was a key player for Sturm Graz as he boasts of 14 goals and eight assists in in all competitions.
He is currently the second highest scoring Italian in all leagues with 11 goals in the Austrian Bundesliga.
Yeboah, who is a nephew of former Ghana striker Tony ‘Yegola’ Yeboah, was invited by Ghana for 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers but the youngster turned down the opportunity and instead represented Italy at the Junior level since he insists that he feels more Italian than Ghanaian having stayed in Europe throughout his life.
