Highly-rated Ghana striker Jerry Afriyie has sealed a move to Saudi Arabia Pro League side Al-Qadsiah FC on a permanent contract.
The youngster has signed a contract with the Saudi club until 2028 and will join Spanish third tier side CD Lugo on loan till the end of the season.
The 18-year-old forward, who has been touted as one of Ghana’s best upcoming talents, has signed a three -and a half-year deal with the Saudi giants.

His goal capped off an impressive 2024 for the teenager, following his golden boot-winning performance at the WAFU B Championship and a gold medal with the U-20 team at the African Games in March.
He was also a member of the Black Galaxies team that fell to Nigeria in the qualifying round to the CHAN tournament later this year.
He led the Ghana U20 team to qualify for the U20 Africa Cup of Nations, claiming the Goal King and Best Player awards at the WAFU Zone B Championship in Togo.
