Moldovan top-flight league powerhouse FC Sheriff Tiraspol have announced the signing of Ghanaian young defender Riis Opoku Agyemang for an undisclosed fee.
The 19-year-old centre-back has joined the Tiraspol-based outfit from Ghana Premier League outfit Aduana Stars.
Opoku Agyemang arrived in Tiraspol this week to begin his career abroad and he is seen as replacement for compatriot Nana Kwame Boakye who joined SK Brann in the summer transfer window.
He joined Aduana Stars last month after leaving fellow Premiership side Berekum Chelsea, having gained top-flight experience last season.
The club's official statement said: "Welcome, Riis. Another newcomer to FC Sheriff is Ghanaian defender Riis Twumasi Opoku. The 19-year-old player has signed an employment contract. Rees was born in Kumasi, Ghana's second-largest city.”
“He gained his first professional experience last season at Berekum Chelsea, from where he moved to two-time Ghanaian champions FC Aduana Stars,".
The talented centre-back is expected to make his debut against Petrocub in the Moldovan Superliga on Sunday, September 14.
Opoku Agyemang is currently part of the Ghana U20 team.
