Aberdeen FC eyes Medeama defender Nurudeen Abdulai
25th July 2024
Scottish powerhouse Aberdeen FC is keeping a close watch on talented Ghanaian defender Nurudeen Abdulai, currently playing for Medeama SC.
The 19-year-old, who has garnered significant interest from various European clubs, has particularly caught the attention of the Scottish giants.
Scouting reports on Abdulai highlight his potential and promising future in European football.
Aberdeen FC is believed to be ready to negotiate a comprehensive development plan for the highly-rated centre-back, known for his goal-scoring abilities from defense.
However, Aberdeen faces stiff competition for Abdulai’s signature, with clubs from England, Denmark, and Norway also monitoring his progress.
His performances in the CAF Champions League with Medeama SC have further amplified interest in the young defender.
Abdulai, who broke into the Ghana Premier League scene just two seasons ago, has quickly become a standout player.
His impressive performances earned him a call-up to the senior national team, the Black Stars. He played a crucial role in Medeama SC's historic Ghana Premier League victory in the 2022/23 season.
The young defender, included in Medeama's pre-season squad, is expected to leave the Ghana Premier League before the new season kicks off on September 6, 2024.
His consistent displays have made him one of the league's best defensive players over the past two seasons.
Transfer experts at FootballInsider247.com report that Abdulai is on the radar of several Premier League and Championship clubs during the ongoing summer transfer window.
Following a stellar 2022/23 season, he received his debut call-up to the Black Stars for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Madagascar and Comoros in November last year.
Although a shoulder injury kept him out of the final squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, former Ghana coach Chris Hughton included him in the provisional squad.
With rising interest and his evident potential, Abdulai is poised for a move to Europe, marking a significant step in his promising football career.
