Ghana striker Emmanuel Banahene joins Egyptian side Ismaily as Antwi replacement
Ghana international striker Emmanuel 'Mboma' Banahene has joined Egyptian side Ismaili as a replacement for his compatriot John Antwi.
The 26-year-old Black Stars attacker moves to the Egyptian side as a free agent after a torrid time in Saudi Arabia.
Banahene, who recently got an invitation to play in the Ghana national team before the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, signed a contract for two and a half years.
This means his contract with Ismaili will end in June 2017.
Banahene has been signed by Ismaily to replace their former top-scorer Antwi, who recently joined Saudi Arabian side Al Shabab in a move worth $2.2m.
The Ghanaian forward joins Isamaili from Saudi Arabian side Al-Orouba on a free transfer.
He opted to cancel his contract with the Saudi side because of the lack of playing time.
According to statistics by transfermarkt, Banahene only played two matches in Saudi Arabia and scored one goal.
The move is a huge boost for his career as he seek to play more matches and score more goals to be considered for future Ghana national team call-ups.
