Brazilian giants Sao Paulo FC sign Ghanaian teen sensation King Faisal Owusu
The budding talented forward has been acquired by the six-time Brazilian Serie A champions from Ghanaian lower-tier side Young African Promises Academy
Brazilian powerhouse Sao Paulo FC have completed the signing of Ghanaian young winger King Faisal Owusu on a one-year loan contract with an option to buy.
Faisal Owusu arrived in the City of Sao Paulo on Friday to finalize his loan switch to the Estádio do Morumbi outfit, including a mandatory medical examination.
The 18-year-old is one of the highly-rated young wingers in the West African country following his explosive performance in the Ghanaian lower-tier league with Young African Promises Academy and has been tipped for greatness in football. He is comfortable attacking on either wing or through the centre of the pitch.
With his magnetic left foot, he has the penchant of faking a pass, faking a shot, faking a direction in movement before he bursts away and leaves his markers chasing shadows. His team-mates and fans alike find it amusing. His opponents, however, don’t find it amusing.
King Faisal Owusu is an incredibly gifted player with plenty of room to develop further. He will surely speed, flee and dribble into the hearts of many football fans everywhere but must first be disciplined and avoid complacency to reach the heights expected of him.
He has been drafted into the Sao Paulo FC U20 team as part of his development process and the option of purchase clause in the loan contract could be trigged should he impress the technical handlers of the club during the one-year period.
