Published: July 17, 2021

Four-time Belgian champions Royal Antwerp have announced through their official website that they have reached an agreement with Swedish Allsvenskan side IFK Göteborg for the transfer of talented Nigerian midfielder Alhassan Yusuf.

The 20-year-old Yusuf is joining Royal Antwerp on a four-year deal, pending a physical.

He is expected to undergo the medical examination on Monday, July 19 before putting pen to paper.

This season, Yusuf has made ten appearances for IFK Göteborg, taking his total appearances for the club to 77, comprising of 66 in the Allsvenskan, 10 in the Svenska Cupen and one in the Europa League qualifying round.

A product of Tiki Taka Academy in his homeland, he transferred to IFK Göteborg in July 2018 following a successful trial.

He caught the eye of the Swedish club after starring in the prestigious Gothia Cup, a tournament whose alumni includes the likes of Júlio Baptista, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Kim Källström and Emmanuel Adebayor.
