Ghanaian second division side Accra Lions FC have transferred wunderkind Osman Bukari to Belgian giants Anderlecht, GHANASoccernet.com can exclusively reveal.

The 18-year-old, a right winger with incredible speed dribbling skills, caught the eyes of Anderlecht officials after a successful trial.

Bukari was a big hit for the Legon-based side during the first half of the Greater Accra Division Two League (Madina zone) which earned him a trip to Europe.

Accra Lions emerged winners of the zone with a record 73 points from 28 matches.

Bukari's move from the lower division to a stellar European club can be seen as the second marquee transfer for Accra Lions after Jessie Guera Djou's transfer to French giants AS Monaco early this year.

Lions have managed to conclude five international transfers [to Belgium, France and Israel]  in their first year of operation since its formation in 2016.

The ambitious club is benefiting immensely from their strategic partnership with the German management agency LionShare, led by Oliver Koenig, the well-connected agent of Frank Acheampong, Mohammed Muntari, Bright Addae and many other West African stars.
