From Ghana’s third tier to Serie A giants: Atalanta snap up young Yaw Asamoah Agyei

Italian Serie A side Atalanta BC have completed the signing of Ghanaian youngster Yaw Asamoah Agyei from Second Division club EurAfrica, marking a remarkable leap in the young player’s career.

Agyei, who has been plying his trade in Ghana’s third tier, has signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with the Bergamo-based club, with an option to extend the deal by a further two years.

The move represents a major breakthrough for both the player and EurAfrica, highlighting the growing attention being paid to grassroots football in Ghana by top European clubs.

Atalanta, widely praised for their youth development and talent identification, are expected to integrate the youngster gradually as he adapts to life in Italian football.

For Agyei, the transfer is a dream opportunity, a chance to develop within one of Europe’s most progressive clubs after rising from the lower divisions at home.

The deal also serves as encouragement for young players across Ghana’s domestic leagues, reinforcing the message that talent can be spotted from any level with the right platform and exposure.
