Rapid and Genoa have reached an agreement for the loan of David Ankeye. The Nigerian player will play at the Giulești Stadium until the summer of this year.
At 22, Ankeye has played four matches in the current Serie A season, against Lazio, Bologna, Juventus and Atalanta, while on a further 13 occasions he has remained on the bench without being used.
“I know Rapid as a historic club in Romania, I followed the championship already when I was in Moldova. Before arriving here, I observed the team and its fans, and I am very motivated to be part of Rapid. I can’t wait to play, give my all for the team and make the fans happy. I promise to give 100% in every match to take the team to the top,” Ankeye told the official website fcrapid.ro.
Arriving from Sheriff Tiraspol at the beginning of 2024 for a fee of 2.5 million euros, the 1.91m attacker wore the Genoa shirt on 11 occasions, but failed to score.
