Ghana midfielder Emmanuel Lomotey completes move to French side Amiens

Ghana U23 midfielder Emmanuel Lomotey has completed his move to French second tier Amiens, as exclusively predicted by Ghanasoccernet.com last week.

The 22-year-old signed a four-year contract with the Ligue 2 side on Monday after passing a medical.

He moves from Spanish side relegated Segunda Division side Extremadura in search of top level football in Europe.

Amiens beat stiff competition from Europa League campaigners Fehervar of Hungary and Albecete in Spain to grab the Ghana youth international for €500,000.

The talented midfielder signed a contract that will leave him at the French side until 2024.

The French club confirmed their signing of the player who arrived in France on Friday ahead of reaching an agreement over his terms of contract.

"Amiens SC are very happy to announce the signing of Emmanuel Lomotey!," the French club said in a statement released on Monday after the deal was signed.

"The 22-year-old Ghanaian U23 defensive and international midfielder is linked with the club until 2024! Welcome home Emmanuel!"

This comes after Ghanasoccernet.com exclusively revealed last week that French side Amiens are on the verge of swooping for the Ghana youth midfielder Lomotey.

The Ligue 2 side have paid € 500,000 Euros for the services of the utility player who was keen on leaving Spanish football.

Lomotey was keen on leaving relegated Segunda Division side Extremadura in search of top level football in Europe.

Amiens want to bolster their rank and make a quick return to the French Ligue 1 following their demotion last season.

Lomotey gave a good account of himself last term when he made 21 league appearances and scored one goal.

He is reported to have caught the eyes of Portuguese side Sporting Braga, French Ligue 1 side Metz as well as Union Berlin in Germany.
