Nations FC defender Razak Simpson set for Finnish top-flight move

Nations FC centre-back Razak Simpson is set to join a top-flight Finnish club ahead of the 2026/27 season, with an agreement already in place for the highly rated defender to make the move to Europe.

The 27-year-old Black Stars defender, who captained Nations FC to FA Cup glory and was recently on standby for Ghana's World Cup squad, is now poised to take the next significant step in his career abroad.

Simpson has been a pillar of consistency for the Abrankese-based club since joining in 2023. His performances earned him a call-up to the Black Stars in November 2025, and he has since made six appearances for Ghana, scoring one goal in the process.

His stock has risen considerably over the past year, drawing interest from clubs in Algeria and Albania, with Nations FC previously indicating they would not stand in his way should the right offer arrive.

Simpson put the finishing touches on his time in Ghana by captaining Nations FC to a dramatic FA Cup victory over Dreams FC. The triumph secured the club a place in next season's CAF Confederation Cup despite their relegation from the Ghana Premier League.

Now, with his contract set to expire on June 30, 2026, Simpson is set to depart as a free agent. The Finnish club, which has already agreed terms with the defender, will look to complete the move when the transfer window opens.

For Simpson, the move to Finland represents an opportunity to gain European experience and continue his development on a new continent. For Nations FC, losing their captain and defensive leader is a blow, but one that was anticipated as the club prepared for life in the Division One League.

The Ghanaian defender will now prepare for the next chapter of his career, with the agreement already in place for his move to Europe.
