Promising Ghanaian youth defender Clinton Antwi says he joined Danish first division side Esbjerg FB on loan from Nordsjælland because he needs more playing time to aid his development.
The Right to Dream Graduate finalised his loan move on Wednesday and quickly joined his teammate for training.
Speaking on his loan move, Antwi said: ”I need playing time in relation to my development, and therefore I am happy with the opportunity I now get in Esbjerg. I look forward to the challenge and my clear ambition is to fight for a place on the team and do my part so that the club can return to the Superliga. I believe this is the right thing for me.”
Meanwhile, Sports Manager Jan Laursen has expressed excitement about the capture of the young Ghanaian left-back.
”We still have a strong belief in Clinton, but we agree that he needs more fighting time on the field to continue his development, fulfill his potential and come back even stronger. He gets good opportunities for that in Esbjerg, and we know he will be in good hands with our former coach Ólafur Kristjánsson. Clinton is a sympathetic young man with a big heart both on and off the field, and at the same time he has a very high work ethic and always acts professionally in any context. We look forward to following him in Esbjerg.
Clinton Antwi has so far played 22 official matches with the tiger on his chest.
