Aarhus GF's Sporting Director, Stig Inge Bjørnebye, has provided insight into the club's rationale behind securing Ghanaian talent Richmond Gyamfi.
Gyamfi's standout performances during the First Division Promotion play-offs with Hobro IK immediately captured the attention of Aarhus GF, tallying an impressive three goals and four assists in just 10 matches.
The 19-year-old has inked a lucrative five-year deal with AGF, with the official announcement made on Wednesday, July 10.
Despite falling short of securing Hobro a spot in the Danish top flight, Gyamfi's brief stint with the club marks their highest-ever transfer fee received. In a mere five months and 13 appearances, the young forward has already left a significant mark.
Stig Inge Bjørnebye elaborated on the club's decision to pursue Gyamfi in a statement on their official website.
"Richmond fits into our style of play. He is fast, has a good physical and is a skilled finisher. He gives us some x-factor and has a forward-thinking in his game that is unusual and impressive," he said.
"We have followed him intensely in the spring and are very happy to be able to welcome him to AGF, where he can now continue his positive development in our framework and release his talent even more."
