Dutch-born Ghanaian forward Elvis Manu has joined Dutch Eredivisie side FC Groningen from Botev Plovdiv, Sportsworldghana.com can confirm.
The attacker has been loaned from the Bulgarian top-flight for the rest of this season.
The 29-year-old Manu previously played in the Eredivisie for big club like Feyenoord, and also played for SC Cambuur and Go Ahead Eagles.
The attacker went through the youth academy of Feyenoord and made his debut for the club from Rotterdam South in the 2011/2012 season.
The following season, Manu was loaned out to city rivals Excelsior. After a rental period in Leeuwarden at SC Cambuur, Manu made his breakthrough in De Kuip in the 2014/2015 season.
The attacker played the first half of this year for the Bulgarian Botev Plovdiv, where he scored seven goals and provided four assists in 14 league matches.
Technical director Mark-Jan Fledderus explains why Manu has been added to the selection of FC Groningen. “Elvis is a player who has already been through a lot in his career and he had the desire to show the Netherlands what he has to offer.
“We think that Elvis can bring us speed, power, but also a certain unpredictability. In addition, he is a player who has actually scored his goals everywhere under all circumstances. We therefore think that Elvis can be of immediate value to help us in our relegation battle. We wish him every success.”
