Sporting Director of Red Bull Salzburg, Bernhard Seonbuchner has showered praise on the club's leadership for offering contract extension to Ghanaian midfielder Forson Amankwah.
Amankwah was handed a new contract to keep him at the Austrian Bundesliga heavyweights until the summer of 2027.
The former WAFA midfielder has been at Red Bull Salzburg since his acquisition from the Ghanaian club in 2021 and has rose from the ranks of Salzburg after spending a loan stint at SCR Altach.
Seonbuchner's comments reflect the high regard in which the club holds Amankwah and his exciting development as a footballer.
He pointed out the positive trajectory of Amankwah's growth, emphasizing the remarkable talent he brings to the team.
He said in an interview with the club's official website: "The collaboration with Amankwah Forson is very positive, which can also be seen in his development curve, which is pointing strongly upwards! He is a very talented footballer."
Amankwah's journey with RB Salzburg began in the 2021 winter transfer period, and he quickly made a name for himself. After starting with the U18 team of the Red Bull Academy and a loan spell at SCR Altach, he returned to RB Salzburg.
With a total of 25 appearances, four goals, and three assists for the series champions, he has become a valuable asset to the team.
The contract extension signifies the club's recognition of Amankwah's immense potential and their anticipation of his continued growth and contributions.
Amankwah has scored two goals and provided two assists in nine league appearances for RB Salzburg in the Austrian Bundesliga this season so far.
