Portuguese giants Sporting CP have completed the signing of former Black Starlets striker Rudolf Blagogee from Croatian side NK Osijek where he had an impressive debut season.

The 18-year-old penned a deal with the Green and White lads after passing his mandatory medical and completing the formalities.

Blagogee, who was surprisingly omitted from the Ghana U-17 final squad that reached the quarter-final of the 2017 FIFA U17 World Cup held in India is a dynamic attacker who can operate on the wings as well as upfront.

The highly-rated forward is a joy to watch with good pace and power to score with lightning speed on the field of play.

Before joining the Portuguese side, he was heavily linked with a move to some top European clubs.

He previously played for Ghanaian lower-tier side Densu Rovers before moving to Europe.

The tall forward is cast in the mould of Arsenal legend Thiery Henry and has been tipped for greatness.
