Feyenoord Technical Director reveals reason for signing Ghanaian winger Christian Conteh

Technical Director of Dutch giants Feyenoord, Frank Arnesen has explained that the club signed Ghanaian winger Christian Conteh because of his electrifying pace.

The 20-year-old, who was born in Hamburg to parents who emigrated from Ghana, joined the Eredivisie side on a four-year deal from German second-tier side, St Pauli.

"We have been watching Conteh for a while," said Frank Arnesen. “He is lightning fast, has good action and is someone who can provide a good dose of danger behind the lines.

"This boy has a lot of potentials, so we want to give him the time, space and attention to further develop it. ”

Conteh played in the youth team of FC St. Pauli from 2017 and made his debut for the senior team at the age of 19 last season.

In his debut game against Arminia Bielefeld, the later champion of the second Bundesliga, he scored right away.

This season he managed nine appearances across all competitions and scored two goals.
