Ghana striker, Ibrahim Arafat Mensah has disclosed that he sought advice from Ernest Asante before signing for IK Start.
Arafat completed his move to Norwegian top-flight side from NK Aluminij after both clubs reached an agreement last week.
Mensah landed in Kjevik on Thursday afternoon and conducted a medical check at Sparebanken Sør Arena before signing the agreement.
The 23-year-old becomes the second Ghanaian in the side's ranks after Isaac Twum - who joined from Inter Allies last year.
And after completing his deal, he disclosed that he sought advise from the club's former striker Ernest Asante before putting pen to paper.
"I grew up in the same club as Ernest Asante, Feyenoord Acadamy. He is a bit older than me, but I know him well. We stayed in the same place and were together, he says.
"I sent a message to him today, where I said I should sign for his club in Norway. I'm looking forward to talking to him."
Asante featured for the side from 2011 to 2014, scoring 25 goals in 109 appearances before joining Stabaek in 2015.
