The promising Gambian young talent Muhammed Kanteh has set out on a journey to Ukraine for a week-long trial with Shakhtar Donetsk, a top-tier club in the Ukrainian football league. This information has been confirmed to The Nerve Africa by reliable sources close to the player.
Kanteh, an 18-year-old sensation, has been making waves in the recently commenced Gambia second division campaign with his club, Wagadu Football Club. Having showcased his skills and goal-scoring prowess by netting four goals in just 8 matches, Kanteh has caught the attention of scouts and managers on the lookout for emerging talent.
The Gambian star’s departure to Ukraine signifies a crucial opportunity for him to prove his mettle on an international stage. His impressive performance domestically has earned him the chance to undergo trials with Shakhtar Donetsk, where he aims to secure a professional deal with the prestigious European club.
This news comes in the wake of earlier reports suggesting that Kanteh was considering trials with a club in Turkey. However, it has now been confirmed that his destination is Shakhtar Donetsk, a club with a rich history and a strong presence in European competitions.
Should Kanteh successfully navigate his trials and secure a contract with Shakhtar Donetsk, he will carve his name in history as the first player from Wagadu Football Club to sign a deal with a European club. This achievement not only marks a significant milestone in Kanteh’s career but also serves as an inspiration for his peers, motivating them to strive for excellence and dream big.
