Ghanaian defender Abdul Mumin reacts to Rayo Vallecano move

Published on: 05 September 2022

Ghana defender Abdul Mumin Sulemana has reacted to his move to Spanish top-flight side Rayo Vallecano.

The 24-year-old signed a four-year deal to join the La Liga outfit from Portuguese side Vitoria Guimaraes.

Reacting to his move, he said, “I am very happy because the coaches, the players and all the staff received me very well. I felt at home because of the treatment I received”.

“The group is made up of many experienced players, from whom I can learn a lot. It's very competitive."

“It is a TOP league. Even when he was younger he watched matches from this competition. I love to defend, but he also finds a balance between attack and defense. I like to help build the game.”

Abdul Mumin moved to Portugal in 2020 from Danish topflight side FC Nordsjaelland, going on to make over 60 appearances for Vitoria Guimaraes.

The Right to Dream Academy graduate was linked with Bournemouth in the summer transfer window, but the sacking of Scott Parker meant the deal could not go through.

Abdul Mumin was part of the Black Stars team at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon earlier this year.

He also made the team for the World Cup qualifiers against Nigeria but he is yet to make his debut for Ghana.
