Ghanaian defender Philemon Baffour has started training with Portuguese club Rio Ave after joining them from Ghana Premier League side Dreams FC.
The 20-year-old fullback who was part of the Ghana team that won the U20 Africa Cup of Nations in Mauritania last year has signed a two-year and a half contract with the Liga Portugal 2 club.
Baffour featured in all six matches at the U-20 AFCON as he produced outstanding performances to help the Black Satellites lift the ultimate in the end.
Baffour was named in Milovan Rajevac’s Black Stars squad for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon but didn’t feature in any of the three games the team played at the AFCON.
