Ghanaian striker Asumah Abubakar has joined Austrian 2. Liga side SC Austria Lustenau on a short-term deal until the end of the 2025-26 football season.

The ex-Willem ll U19 star has told the club's official website: ''I'm happy to be here now. I've come to strengthen the team and will give everything to achieve our shared goals. I'm looking forward to the team, the club, and especially the fans.''
Sporting director Dieter Alge added: ''We are very pleased to have signed an experienced striker like Abu for our club. He brings not only quality and a goal threat, but also valuable experience that will help our team both on and off the pitch.''
Asumah has a vast experience in the various divisions across Europe having taken in spells with Grasshoppers Zurich, FC Luzern, FC Lugano, Brisbane Roar and SC Kriens so far in his football career.
After playing for the Portugal U19 youth team, the Kumasi-born native still remains fit to play for Ghana senior national team on the international stage.
