Ghanaian striker Richmond Boakye-Yiadom has joined Selangor FC in Malaysia on a free transfer.
He has signed a six-month contract with Selangor FC, with the goal of bolstering the team’s bid for the Malaysia Super League in the season’s second half.
Selangor FC currently sits in second place in the league table, and Boakye-Yiadom’s arrival is expected to boost the team’s attacking prowess significantly.
Boakye-Yiadom’s previous club was Al Akhdar, where he made 11 appearances and netted three goals across various competitions in Libya.
However, the experienced striker is widely recognised for his successful stints in Italy.
Over the course of his career, he has featured for prominent Italian clubs such as Genoa, Sassuolo, Juventus, Atalanta, and Latina. Boakye-Yiadom’s journey then led him to Serbia, where he joined Red Star Belgrade.
The 30-year-old won four league titles with Serbian giants Red Star before moving on to Górnik Zabrze, Beitar Jerusalem, and PAS Lamia. Selangor FC is his 14th club after beginning his career at Genoa.
Boakye-Yiadom has been capped 19 times by Ghana, scoring seven goals for the Black Stars, the last one coming against Comoros at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Cameroon held early last year.
