In a bid to strengthen their midfield, AC Reggiana has announced the acquisition of Justin Kumi, a highly-rated Ghanaian-Italian midfielder, on loan from US Sassuolo. The deal will see the talented youngster don the Granata jersey until the end of the season.

Born on July 16, 2004, in Castelfranco Veneto, Italy, Kumi’s roots trace back to Ghana. His football journey began in his hometown before he transitioned to Giorgione’s youth academy at just 15. It wasn’t long before his exceptional abilities caught the attention of Sassuolo, where his development accelerated in their renowned youth setup.

Kumi’s breakout moment came in 2023 when he played a vital role in Sassuolo’s under-19 team, leading them to victory in the Italian Primavera championship. His remarkable performances didn’t go unnoticed, drawing interest from European powerhouses like Barcelona and PSV.

In February 2024, Kumi achieved a dream milestone by making his Serie A debut for Sassuolo in a high-stakes clash against Napoli. Now, at AC Reggiana, the dynamic midfielder is poised to bring energy and creativity to the team as they aim for a successful campaign.

For Kumi, this loan spell represents an opportunity to gain valuable experience and prove himself on a bigger stage, with fans eager to witness the next chapter of his promising career.
