Ghana sensation Afena-Gyan signs sponsorship deal with PUMA

Ghana forward Afena-Gyan have had a breakthrough in sporting clothing after signing sponsorship deal with global brand PUMA.

The world’s third largest sportswear manufacturing company is now the official outfitter of budding talented forward Afena-Gyan.

AS Roma youngster Felix Afena-Gyan has signed a mouthwatering deal with globally recognized sportswear firm, PUMA.

The 19-year-old striker will now be clothed by the German based sports kit giants after agreeing to sign a multi-year contract on Tuesday.

Afena-Gyan joined AS Roma youth academy from Ghanaian based lower-tier side EurAfrica Academy in January 2021 but broke the headlines after scoring brace against Genoa in the Italian Serie A.

His enormous qualities at the AS Roma youth side attracted first team coach Jose Mourinho to hand him a promotion to make his debut against Cagliari in October last year.

Born in January 2003 in Sunyani, he was still playing schoolboy football in Ghana until January 2021, when picked up by Roma via the EurAfrica FC Academy.

Afena-Gyan is the first player born in 2003 to score in the Italian Serie A against Genoa in November 2021. He has made thirteen appearances for AS Roma in all competitions with two goals in his debut season.

Afena-Gyan was handed a debut call-up to the senior national team of Ghana for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier against South Africa and Ethiopia but failed to turn up due to sporting reasons.
