Ghanaian midfielder is full of excitement after sealing a move to Swedish club Helsingborgs IF.
The club on Thursday morning confirmed the signing of Ebusua Dwarfs star.
Ghana’s leading football website reported on the move by the talented midfielder in March 2021 which was finalized on Wednesday 2nd June, 2021.
The 20-year-old arrived in Sweden with his agent earlier this week to sign the deal.
Acquah is joining the club on a one-year loan deal with an option to make it permanent on a three-year contract.
The talented player as been a top performer in the Ghana Premier League this campaign where he has scored 5 goals in 16 matches.
He has also won the man of the match five times in the process.
The highly rate midfielder was included in the initial Black Stars call-up for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifications.
“It has been a long time since I signed for HIF and it has been a lot of stress and many difficulties due to the pandemic but I am so happy that I am finally here. I already love the arena and the pitch is so good. There are not such good plans in Ghana and here I will really be able to show what I can do, says the central midfielder.
Sports director Andreas Granqvist has followed Benjamin through his network of contacts for some time and looks forward to seeing him in HIF’s environment.
”Benjamin is a young and exciting player who we partly wanted to take a closer look at and see how he gets into our environment but who we also believe can contribute on the field already during this year. We managed to find a good solution that suits all partners and it will be exciting to follow his journey, he said.
Acquah is a product of the Red Bull Academy in Ghana and had received an offer from Belgian top-flight side KAA Gent in September 2020.
