Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt has signed 18-year-old Andrew Junior Awusi, a promising talent of Ghanaian descent, to his first professional contract. The deal extends until June 2026, with an option for an additional year.

Awusi, who has been part of The Eagles’ youth system since he was 11, has shown significant potential during his time at the club. Despite interest from various other teams, Eintracht Frankfurt quickly secured Awusi’s commitment, fending off potential suitors.

The club announced the contract on its official website, noting the Spanish-Ghanaian winger’s progress since joining in 2017 and the extension of his stay.

Sporting director Timmo Hardung expressed his satisfaction with retaining Awusi, praising his exciting skillset and the club’s dedication to his development. “We’re pleased to have secured another talented youngster for the coming years in Junior,” said Hardung. “With his dribbling ability and goal threat, he has an exciting skillset. Our joint task now is to gradually introduce Junior to men’s football so he can consistently showcase his qualities on the pitch.”

Despite injuries, Awusi made significant contributions to Frankfurt’s U19 team during the U19-Bundesliga S/SW 23/24 season, scoring twice and providing five assists in 13 league appearances.
