Edmund Baidoo, the 19-year-old Ghanaian forward, is making waves in the Austrian Bundesliga, scoring again in Red Bull Salzburg’s 4–1 win over SV Ried on Sunday.

The teenager came off the bench in the 68th minute and needed just four minutes to make his mark — calmly finishing a clever pass from Maurits Kjaergaard to extend Salzburg’s lead.

Baidoo’s goal takes his tally to three goals in the current campaign, and he’s now been directly involved in a goal in each of his last five matches, underlining his growing influence under coach Thomas Letsch.

Baidoo’s blend of pace, composure, and positional intelligence has made him one of Salzburg’s most exciting young prospects, with fans and pundits tipping him for a regular starting role.

Baidoo was impactful in the game as he showed great attributes he possessed, and what he is capable of:


  • Super-sub efficiency: Scoring within minutes of introduction

  • Link-up play: Strong chemistry with midfield creators

  • Final third threat: Clinical finishing and smart movement
