Moroccan top-flight league heavyweights Wydad Athletic Club have mutually parted ways with Ghanaian striker Samuel Obeng Gyabaa after a short spell at the club.
The 27-year-old joined the North African outfit during the winter transfer window from Portuguese side Casa Pia, with hopes of reviving his career under South African coach Rulani Mokwena.
However, the former Ghana U23 striker failed to live up to expectations at the club and he was compounded with limited playing time after the sacking of Mokwena for poor run of results.
Obeng Gyabaa's limited impact on the pitch forced the Wydad AC hierarchy to mutually agree to a contract termination, ending his stay earlier than anticipated.
Obeng managed to play only 16 appearances across all competitions, registering two goals and two assists. He was part of the Wydad AC squad that participated in the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup in the United States.
The decision marks another setback for the 27-year-old striker, who has spent most of his professional career in Spain with clubs such as Girona, Getafe, Real Oviedo, Granollers, and Calahorra before his short stint in Portugal.
Obeng Gyabaa represented Ghana at the 2019 CAF U-23 Cup of Nations in Egypt, where he emerged as the Black Meteors’ best performer with two goals.
What's next for Samuel Obeng
Now as a free agent, the 27-year-old is expected to seal a move to begin a new chapter before the closure of the summer transfer.
Kickgh.com understands that Obeng Gyabaa has attracted interest from some clubs in Europe and East Africa for a possible acquisition.
