Published on: 04 August 2021

Ghana striker, Caleb Ekuban has arrived in Italy to complete his move to Serie A side, Genoa.

Footballghana.com revealed last week that the striker has opted to sign for Genoa this summer despite several interests from European clubs.

Ekuban will join the club from Turkish side, Trabzonspor.

He will undergo a mandatory medical today in the next few hours to complete his move to the club.

The attacker is expected to sign a four-year deal and will earn 1 million euros in the deal.

The amount involved in the transfer is reportedly 2.2 million euros, the same amount turned down by Trabzonspor initially.

Trabzonspor soften their stand and accepted the amount after the striker made it clear he wasn't going to continue at the club.

The Turkish club wanted 4 million euros for the forward Ekuban, whom they bought for 1.5 million euros from Leeds United in 2019.

Ekuban had an instrumental campaign in the Turkish top-flight last term where he scored 10 goals in 32 appearances.

The 27-year-old began his career in Italy at Mantova Youth before moving to Chievo Verona where he spent 7 years at the youth and senior levels.

He enjoyed loan spells at FC Suditrol, FC Lumezzane, AC Renate all in Italy and also FK Partizani in Albania.
