Egyptian Premier League side Modern Sport Club has officially announced the signing of 19-year-old Frederick Kessie, a talented midfielder from Accra Lions.
Kessie’s move to Modern marks a significant step in his career, following his outstanding performances since joining Lions in January 2023 from Sefwi All Stars.
During the previous season, Kessie made 15 appearances and was instrumental in his team’s impressive second-place finish in the Ghana Premier League.
Kessie’s move to Egypt follows a successful negotiation between both clubs, leading to a three-year contract with Modern.
His signing is part of the club's broader strategy to strengthen their squad ahead of the 2024-25 season, as they aim to improve on their fifth-place finish last season.
Notably, Kessie was a key member of the Ghana U20 national team, the Black Satellites, which clinched the gold medal at the 13th African Games earlier this year.
His dynamic playmaking and consistency have made him one of the promising young talents to watch in African football.
