Ghanaian striker Joseph Esso has touched down in Algeria to finalize his transfer to Algerian side MC Algiers.

The club in a statement released on Thursday suggests that the deal is subject to the player passing his medical examination and completing all other necessary documentation.

The former Hearts of Oak striker has signed a three-year contract with the Algerian giants.

"Algeria's MC administration informs its dear supporters it has bought the contract of 24-year-old Dreams Ghanaian striker Joseph Esso to MC for three years, and the administration will serve to recruit one or two players to support this transfer. Long live the newborn," Maloudia have announced on their official Facebook page.

He joins the Ghanaian striker exodus to Algeria after WAFA' s Daniel Lomotey joined ES Setif and Kotoko's Kwame Opoku joined USM Algers.

Esso has been in fine form for Dreams FC in the Ghana Premier League this season as he has scored 11 goals in 19 matches while providing two assists.

The former Ebusua Dwarfs striker joined Dreams FC as a free agent in August 202o after the expiry of his contract with the phobians.

Esso was a member of the Black Stars B squad that finished runners up in the WAFU Zone B tournament in Senegal in 2019.

He was handed a call up to the Black Stars and was part of the squad that played against South Africa and Sao Tome and Principe this month in the AFCON qualifiers.
