Ghanaian striker Felix Afena-Gyan has secured a season-long loan move to Juventus Next Gen from Serie B side Cremonese.
The young attacker made the switch on transfer deadline day to Juventus Next Gen, the reserve team for Serie A giants Juventus, and will compete in the Serie C Group C.
Afena-Gyan first made headlines at AS Roma, where his impressive tally of six goals in five Primavera (U-19) matches caught the attention of then-manager José Mourinho.
He made his Serie A debut in October 2021 against Cagliari and further cemented his potential by scoring twice against Genoa.
His performances earned him a contract extension with Roma until 2026.
However, after transferring to Cremonese in August 2022, Afena-Gyan struggled to find consistent playing time, recording three goals and one assist in 36 appearances.
The loan to Juventus Next Gen, while a step down, offers Afena-Gyan the chance to regain his form and visibility, potentially marking the next chapter in his promising career.
As a Ghanaian international, Afena-Gyan will hope that this move helps him re-establish his place on the international stage, while also contributing to Juventus Next Gen’s ambitions in Serie C.
