Young Ghanaian defender attracts interest from major European clubs

Jonas Adjetey, a young Ghanaian defender aged only 21, draws the attention of the biggest European clubs thanks to his remarkable performances in FC Basel. He played 25 Super League games this season, attracting interest from Manchester United, who would have supervised him several times. His qualities, including his air game, his anticipation skills and his undeniable potential, impressed the Red Devils recruiters, demonstrating a talent that is emerging as one of the most promising on the continent.

RC Lens tried to secure Adjetey’s services last summer with an offer of more than €6 million, which proved insufficient to convince the Swiss club. The latter, aware of the exceptional potential of his player, trained at the Teshie Football Academy, aims for substantial enhancement, considering Adjetey as a major asset. The profile of the defender embodies the demands of modern game, combining speed, power in duels and precise recovery, quickly pushing him to the rank of the coveted players.

Valued at €4 million by Transfermarkt, Adjetey’s market value could quickly fly away, potentially reaching over €10 million. Football observers are already comparing him to Mohammed Salisu, another Ghanaian defender who has experienced a staggering rise in Europe, which reinforces the young player’s appeal and confirms his potential as a leading figure in European football.
