The 22-year-old stopper of Ghanaian descent has joined the Israeli top division side in this current summer transfer window
Israeli Premier League side Maccabi Tel Aviv have announced the signing of Dutch-born Ghanaian centre-back Tyrese Asante from Dutch side ADO Den Haag.
The ex- Feyenoord Rotterdam youth man joins the lsraeli top-flight outfit on a three-year deal after passing his mandatory medical examinations earlier on Monday.
Announcing the deal, those in charge of the Bloomfield Stadium have said their contractual obligations with the 22-year-old could be extended to another year upon its expiration, stating on their club's official website; "Maccabi Tel Aviv FC and Dutch club ADO Den Haag reached an agreement for the transfer of Tyrese Asante. The 22-year-old Dutch defender completed his medical at the club before signing a 3-year-deal with an option to extend by a further season."
Asante expressed his happiness over his move to his new club, adding to the club's website; "I am really happy to be here and sign for the biggest club in Israel. I am looking forward to play in front of the Maccabi fans at Bloomfield stadium and ready to win more titles. Let’s make this season a successful one.”
Given his Ghanaian heritage, he still remains eligible to switch allegiance and play for Ghana at the international level despite playing for the Netherlands U21 national youth team.
