Ghanaian forward Samuel Tetteh has completed a loan switch to MLS giants New York Red Bulls from Austrian Bundesliga side Red Bull Salzburg.

The 24 year old who has already featured for Ghana’s national team the Black Stars has spent the last three seasons on loan with LASK Linz where he has gained valuable experience playing first-team football and also featuring in the Europa League.

Tetteh is expected to take up one of the NY Red Bulls international player slots for the upcoming campaign through to the end of the 2020 season with the club holding the option to exercise a permanent transfer.

The former West African Football Academy player has expressed his excitement at the prospects the new challenge presents.

“I am excited to be joining the New York Red Bulls and I am looking forward to meeting my new teammates and the fans and hopefully we can achieve great things together,”

Tetteh is eagerly awaiting his P – 1 visa as well as his ITC before he can join his new teammates for the start of the upcoming season.

He joins a growing Ghanaian MLS contingent which also includes Jonathan Mensah, David Accam, Harrison Afful and Latif Blessing.
