Right to Dream youngster Israel Anum joins Swedish giant Malmo FF

Ghanaian youngster Israel Anum has joined Swedish giants Malmo FF from Ghana based Right To Dream football academy. 

The 17-year-old signed a deal to join the club's U19 side from the Akosombo based football nurturing hub after a successful trial.

"I am so happy to come to Malmö, it is a big club that is doing very well, that plays in Europe. It's a great feeling to be here and I'm looking forward to getting started," he said.

"As a player, I would describe myself as aggressive, as a leader and I love helping my teammates. Malmö is a fantastic club that I believe will give me great opportunities, being part of this club will help me develop as a player," he added. 


"Israel is a player I have been down and watched in Ghana. A modern centre-back in the sense that he may not be the typical big centre-back but he is more athletic, very mobile, fast, quick, incredibly resilient and well-trained. He has received a great education in the Right to Dream Academy," said Jeffrey Aubynn, a chief scout in Sweden. 

The center back is the latest player from the renowned Right to Dream Academy to join a club in Europe in the ongoing summer transfer window with a host of them joining Danish outfit Nordsjaelland FC.
