Getting to know the footballer who is close to the blue and yellow
APOEL is close to acquiring David Abania, with the “Blue and Yellow” being in an advanced stage of contact with Al Hilal from Sudan. The people of the team, after positively evaluating the Ghanaian in the double matches with Petrocube, did not waste any time and immediately started the procedures for his signature.
Although until the announcements are made, nothing should be considered as given, if nothing else there are some things that stand out and are worth mentioning about the 25-year-old Ghanaian midfielder.
First of all, let's say that as it was seen in the games for the second qualifying round of the Champions League, this is a football player with a lot of endurance, fast and who has the ability to give a lot of help to his teammates. By Petrocub's standards, he stood out, with his team's game going largely through his feet.
We saw him play mainly as a box to box, but we have to say that he can play. also as a staff midfielder, but also as a winger. Due to his speed, but also his ability with the ball at his feet, he has been used in the Moldovan champions as a winger. More specifically, he has played in all positions from the center and forward, except that of forward.
More generally, it showed that it has a satisfactory package, but data has a lot of room for improvement in all areas. After all, it is a given that if he comes down to our island it will be considered as a step for him, since the level here is clearly better than that in the Moldovan league.
Brief “who is who”
He made his first steps in the Ghanaian league, in which he has not only done admirably in the past, but also managed to conquer it. Al Hilal from Sudan bought him in 2023 for 200,000 dollars (185,000 euros) and after he continued his good performances… Petroqub took him on loan last March.
In Europe he actually plays for less than half a year, counting so far 17 appearances, seven goals and two assists, helping to win both the league and the cup.
At the same time, he is also international with his representative group. He has played in a friendly game with the first team of the Ghana National Team, but also in official games with the second team of his country (consisting only of players who play in Africa).
