The youngster has sealed a four-year deal with the Yellow and Mauve following a splendid performance last season
Ghana Premier League giants Medeama have signed Nzema Kotoko striker Akesse Akesse in a four-year deal, the two clubs have confirmed on Thursday.
The 21-year-old had a solid outing with Nzema Kotoko last season in Zone Two of Ghana Division One League. He scored 12 goals and provided nine assists after 25 matches to help the club to move from the relegation battle to finish fourth on the log.
Akesse has been on the radar of Medeama for some time now with coach Ignatius Fosu finally grabbing his man.
Akesse admitted his happiness to join Medeama and added that he is ready for the challenge next season.
“I am super thrilled to start this new challenge with Medeama. I have been looking forward to it and am happy it has finally happened,” he told the club’s website.
“I am one of you and I can’t wait to start working with the rest of the group. I am looking forward to meeting my teammates and ensuring that we excel for our supporters.
“I can’t wait to wear the shirt and give more than 100%,” he added.
Medeama CEO James Essilfie also spoke highly of the youngster’s qualities and insisted he will be a success at the club.
“We welcome Akesse Akesse to the Club and believe that he will thrive under our environment. We have absolute confidence in his talent and quality and we believe he will suit our plans.
“He is a proven goalscorer who will thrive immensely on the Medeama platform.
“We want to challenge for honours from all fronts and are looking to build a team that can compete and erase last season’s heartbreak.”
Akesse joins Seth Sowah and Kofi Ansu Patrick as the recruits for Medeama ahead of the new season.
