Frank Acheampong and Mubarak Wakasu secure playoffs spot with Shenzhen FC

Ghana’s duo, Frank Acheampong and Wakaso Mubarak have ensured Shenzhen FC’s qualification to the Chinese Super League title playoffs with a game to spare.

21 points from 13 matches is enough to ensure Shenzhen finish in the top four in group A of the Chinese Super league.

Ghana attacker, Frank Acheampong who is the club’s second top scorer of the season with three goals and two assists in 11 matches will be hoping for his first Chinese Super League success after joining from Tianjin Jinmen Tiger before the start of the season in April.

The former Anderlecht Star is enthusiastic about Shenzhen’s chances of going all the way in the playoffs.

Acheampong admits the move to Shenzhen FC where he linked up with fellow Ghanaian Mubarak Wakaso is an upgrade and the two are motivated to achieve great things together

“I have had the privilege of playing with and against great players in my career at club and international level and certainly teaming up with Wakaso is a delight.

“He ( Wakasu) won the Chinese super league with Jiangsu Sunning last season so he has tasted league title success here already and together we can achieve something special here with Shenzhen FC”.

Frank Acheampong and Wakaso Mubarak are expected to return to the Black Stars squad for September’s round of international games after sitting out June’s double header of friendlies due to club commitments.
