sporting director Claus Costa added: ''Kofi is a really exciting player – the combination of his physicality and athleticism, his strength in the tackle and his intensity without possession all fit our playing style extremely well. On top of that, he is good on the ball and tactically flexible. “We’re convinced he will add something to our game, while he also still has plenty of room to develop. We’re delighted to have been able to bring him to HSV.”
