Emmanuel Gyamfi is set for a new challenge in the Scottish Premiership, securing a move to top-flight club Aberdeen following a successful loan spell at partner club VVV-Venlo.
The Knappenschmiede graduate signed his first professional contract with Schalke in the year before his loan move to the Netherlands. The Scottish cup champions and FC Schalke 04 have agreed on a fee secure Gyamfi’s transfer from the Royal Blues. Exact details will remain undisclosed.
We are delighted that, in Emma, another of our academy graduates has made it in professional football. His example demonstrates the role our partner clubs can play in making this possible. After a successful year for all parties in Venlo, we looked for and found a suitable solution.
