Ferencvárosi TC sporting director Tamás Hajnal has praised Ghanaian starlet Isaac Pappoe, as a “very talented footballer with good qualities.”

The 20-year-old midfielder joined the Hungarian giants from Israiel club FC Ashdod having spent last season on loan at Swiss second-division side FC Aarau.

Ferencvárosi won the 2023/24 Hungarian OTP Bank Liga title and they will compete in next season’s UEFA Champions League.

“Isaac Pappoe is a very talented footballer with good qualities, who is a complex midfielder. He impressed us with his skills in both the defensive and attacking phases of the game,” Hajnal said on the club’s website.

“Despite his young age, he shows a very mature game. He has attracted attention with his physical abilities, his speed, and his ability to possess the ball.

“He is a footballer with a winning mentality, and we would like to see him bring that to Ferencváros. Isaac could be an important signing for us in the future, but we want him to show his talent to our fans as soon as possible.”

The former Ghana under-20 international played 28 league games in Switzerland, scoring two goals and assisting five.
