Mumuni Abubakar has been unveiled as a Mamelodi Sundowns player

Ghana Under-20 captain Mumuni Abubakar has signed a two-year deal with Mamelodi Sundowns, MTNFootball.com can exclusively reveal.

Abubakar, who had trial with English giants Liverpool last year, completed his move in Johannesburg on Monday.

The New Edubiase United midfielder was spotted during Ghana’s participation at the eight-nation Cape Town Invitational Friendly Tournament.

“I have watched Mamelodi Sundowns play and I must say that I like they way the players attack and defend as a unit,” Abubakar told the club’s website.

“The most recent match that I watched was the Nedbank Cup Final against SuperSport United.

”I know this is a big Club and therefore want to conquer, I’m determined to work hard for the team to ensure they achieve that goal.”

Abubakar was named the 2011 Sports Writers Association of Ghana Premier League Player of the Year.

He was a member of Ghana’s historic 2011 All Africa Games gold medal winning team in Maputo, Mozambique.

liverpool is a racist club, cant u see. i thought baffour was also going to sign with sundowns. this club has money, and there will be more european scouts coming to see these players in s africa compared to most other places in africa. good career move for abubakar. gh players dont go to egypt. they will ruin your career
