Fast-rising Ghanaian defender Stephen Acquah has signed a contract extension with Danish top-flight side FC Nordsjaelland.
The Right to Dream Academy product inked a new deal that will keep him at FC Nordsjaelland until 2030.
The teen sensation was rewarded with a new deal just 18 months following his move from the Ghana-based academy to the Danish outfit.
Within the period, Acquah has been a regular at the club, making 22 appearances for the first team across all competitions.
“I am happy that I have now extended my contract with FC Nordsjælland, because it is something I have worked hard for. I was very proud when I made my debut in the Superliga, and now I am just looking forward to the future,” he said.
The lanky center-back is expected to follow in the footsteps of the likes of Mohammed Kudus and Ernest Nuamah, who all passed through FC Nordsjaelland during their development.
“Stephen has developed a lot over the past year, and the autumn matches have shown that he is ready to fight for minutes in the Super League. He has good physical potential, so he can handle himself in one-on-one duels, and at the same time he also has a nice calmness with the ball.
He is also versatile, because even though we see him as a center-back, he can also play right-back, for example. So we are happy to have extended Stephen’s contract so that he can continue his development here with us, and together we have made a good plan for his future,” said Nordsjaelland’s Football Director, Alexander Riget.
