Black Stars asset, Mubarak Wakaso has finally jetted off to China to link up with his Jiangsu Suning teammates ahead of the start of the 2020 Chinese Super League season.

The Ghana international was signed by the club in the January transfer window as he moved from Spanish La Liga outfit Deportivo Alaves for a reported fee of 3 million Euros.

Due to the Coronavirus (Covid-19) crisis that hit China and later the entire world, Mubarak Wakaso could not make the trip to China to meet his new teammates.

He however managed to train with Jiangsu Suning during a short training tour in Dubai before most countries shut down their airspace.

Having stayed in Ghana for the last 5 months, Mubarak Wakaso has finally left the West Africa country to China.

His team is starting preparation for the commencement of the Chinese Super League which has been scheduled for July 25.

His club obtained special permission from the Ghana government to airlift the midfielder in a private jet to China.

Mubarak Wakaso, 29, has a 3-year contract with the club and will be expected to play a key role for the team when the season starts.
