Now he has signed for AIK.
Emmanuel Gono from Liberia who is also said to have become a pawn in the game when AIK made the decision to release Jonah Kusi-Asare to Bayern Munich.
AIK takes Emmanuel Gono from FC Kallon in Sierra Leone. Now it is clear that the super talent has signed – a name strongly reported to have played a role in AIK’s decision to sell Jonah Kusi-Asare to Bayern Munich.
A bit into this year, Emmanuel Gono, 18, joined trial training with AIK.
At the end of January, FotbollDirekt.se could show that AIK had made a decision to go for Gono – and with only a few details for contract writing.
In an interview with Fotbollskanalen a couple of weeks ago, Gono showed wide eyes in front of the new reality he is settling into. It was AIK’s supporters who made him shake his head, nice feelings:
– Ah, the supporters. They are very, very good. They really impress.
Emmanuel Gono comes from Liberia – but has spent his most recent time in Sierra Leone and is from the same club as two monumental AIK names such as Mohamed and Teteh Bangura, who just over ten years ago made a big impression and together were sold abroad for a little over 50 million kroner. A piece of AIK history.
Now another young name comes from that direction – from Sierra Leone.
According to new information to FotbollDirekt this Sunday, he has been cleared for AIK. According to FD’s sources, this weekend he finally signed a multi-year contract with AIK Football.
Gono’s transfer is expected to be presented either on Sunday or Monday.
Sports manager Thomas Berntsen has previously not praised the impressive content he believes this 18-year-old has:
– If he comes here, he will be a top player in AIK within a year.
FotbollDirekt has previously shown how he has been relevant at Serie A level and met with Udinese, as well as a reputation based on both speed and playing skill – a type that is believed to fit well with someone like Ioannis Pittas.
FD can also explain how he played no small part because AIK already agreed to release Jonah Kusi-Asare to the Bundesliga. Gono is believed to be able to maintain the same level in the long term. AIK’s management simply has great, great expectations of this youngster.
