Hungarian top-flight club Ujpest FC have announced the signing of highly-rated Ghanaian youngster Prince Manu Balladom from Benab FC in the ongoing summer transfer window.
The 18-year-old arrives at the Budapest-based club after an impressive rise through the ranks of Benab FC in Ghana and a brief development spell in Turkey.
Balladom made a name for himself with Benab during the 2024/25 Ghana third-tier league campaign, where he produced remarkable numbers by scoring 19 goals in just 16 matches despite primarily operating as a centre-forward.
His performances earned him an opportunity to continue his development with Turkish side Goztepe's U20 team in 2025.
After returning to Benab earlier this summer, the talented youngster quickly attracted the attention of Ujpest, who have now secured his signature.
Ujpest described him as an explosive player with excellent acceleration, confidence on the ball with both feet and a strong eye for goal, qualities that could make him a constant threat in the final third.
Although naturally deployed as a centre-forward, Balladom's versatility and physical attributes have made him one of Ghana's exciting young prospects.
He has already represented Ghana at U20 level, making two appearances for the Black Satellites.
