Ghana striker Jerry Afriyie
Ghana U-20 striker Jerry Afriyie has sealed a bumper move to Saudi Arabia Pro League side Al-Qadsiah FC on a permanent contract.
The 18-year-old forward, who has been touted as one of Ghana’s best upcoming talents, has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with the Saudi giants.
He will, however, join Spanish third-tier club CD Lugo on loan for the rest of the season.
The journey of the talented young Ghanaian from lower division side Thoughts FC to becoming a promising poster boy for Ghana has been remarkable.
Afriyie’s impressive performances on the international stage have earned him a debut call-up into the Black Stars during a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Niger.
He also played a pivotal role in Ghana’s triumph at the 2024 African Games, where he emerged as the tournament’s top scorer.
His goal capped off an impressive 2024 for the teenager, following his golden boot-winning performance at the WAFU B Championship and a gold medal with the U-20 team at the African Games in March.
He was also a member of the Black Galaxies team that fell to Nigeria in the qualifying round of the CHAN tournament later this year.
He led the Ghana U20 team to qualify for the U20 Africa Cup of Nations, claiming the Goal King and Best Player awards at the WAFU Zone B Championship in Togo.
