Mexican side Tijuana beat Santos Laguna to sign Ghanaian midfielder Clifford Aboagye

Mexican side Club Tijuana have completed the signing of Ghanaian midfielder Clifford Aboagye on a free transfer, the club has announced. 

The 25-year-old enterprising midfielder joins the side after deciding against extending his loan contract at Querétaro after it expired.

Aboagye becomes the latest African import to join the Xolos in the transfer window as a free agent following his contract expiration at Atlas FC.

The former Inter Allies midfielder was linked with a move to Liga MX giants Santos Laguna with  Club Necaxa also believed to be interested in his signature.

However, Club Tijuana have surprisingly beaten the two teams by signing the talented former Granada midfielder on a permanent deal.

After being awarded with the Bronze Ball at the FIFA U20 World Cup in 2013, Aboagye moved from Inter Allies FC to Italian side Udinese Calcio.

He later joined Spanish side Granada FC in the 2013/2014 season after spending only a season in Italy.

Aboagye was then loaned to Atlas FC after two seasons with Granada FC.

Having had an explosive spell in his first season, his move to Mexico was made permanent in 2017/2018 campaign.
