Norwich City have announced the signing of 21-year-old Ghanaian midfielder Amankwah Forson from Red Bull Salzburg.
Forson has joined the Canaries on a four-year contract, with an option for a further year.
Forson, who began his career at the West African Football Academy (WAFA) in Ghana, moved to Red Bull Salzburg in 2021.
While in Austria, he gained valuable experience on loan at both Liefering and Rheindorf Altach. Forson will don the number 18 shirt at Norwich City.
Expressing his enthusiasm about the move, Forson shared, "I'm really happy and excited to come to the club. The head coach has worked before with so many young players, it's really nice to be here working with him."
Ben Knapper, Norwich City’s sporting director, praised Forson’s abilities and the potential he brings to the squad. “Forson is a talented and very well-rounded player, who will add quality and versatility to our squad,” Knapper commented.
“He’s progressed through a fantastic player development system, and brings with him experience in both the Champions League, as well as being a senior international with Ghana. We feel he is a great fit for us, and I’m sure that we can develop him further and achieve great things together.”
