Published on: 14 March 2017

Ghanaian striker Emmanuel Ocran has joined American second-tier side Real Monarchs on a ten-month contract.

Ocran, 20, moves from Ghana League champions Wa All Stars to the second tier which is the feeder club for MLS side Real Salt Lake.

The attacker has been tipped by punter for great things in future with him scoring as the best bet for American soccer experts.

The exciting youngster has joined the American side for an undisclosed fee, pending league and federation approval and receipt of his ITC.

“As we get closer to the start of the season and have a better idea of what our needs will be throughout the season,” Real Salt Lake General Manager Craig Waibel said.

"Adding versatile young players with professional experience like Emmanuel give us options that we can explore moving forward while also developing young players that could hold a future in our organization."

The youngster was being tracked by local giants Asante Kotoko.

Ocran, 20, helped WA All-Stars win the Ghanaian Premier League in 2016 and comes to the Monarchs on loan for the 2017 season.

Primarily a winger, he can also play as a striker and was among the club’s top goalscorers during its championship run and was called in to the Ghanaian National Team for African Cup of Nations qualifying matches, though he did not feature for his country.
