Fast-rising Ghanaian defender, Stephen Acquah, has signed a contract extension with Danish topflight side FC Nordsjaelland.
The Right to Dream Academy product inked a new deal which 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 centre-back is expected to follow 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.
