Portuguese topflight side, Vitória Sport Clube have announced the loan signing of Ghana defender Gideon Mensah from Red Bull Salzburg.
The left-back will be at the service of the Victorian emblem until the end of the 2020/21 season, leaving Vitória SC with a purchase option of 2.2 million euros.
At 22, Mensah is one of Africa’s greatest promises, having already accumulated a lot of experience in European football.
In 2016, he signed for Red Bull Salzburg’s juniors from WAFA SC, having been loaned, at the same time, to Liefering, where he stayed until the middle of the 2018/19 season.
Mensah moved to Sturm Graz in January 2019, where he made 13 appearances in the half-season spell.
In the 2019/20 season, he was farmed out at Belgium side Zulte Waregem, where he played 19 games in the Jupiler Pro League.
Gideon Mensah becomes the second Ghanaian after Abdul Mumin to join Vitória this summer.
