OFFICIAL: USM Algiers announce Joseph Esso signing

Algerian giants USM Algiers have officially announced the signing of Ghanaian forward Joseph Esso from Ghana Premier League side Dreams FC.

Esso, together with the President of Dreams FC Mohammed Jiji Alifoe arrived in Algeria on Friday ahead of the move.

The in-form forward successfully went through the mandatory medical examination on Sunday and finally put pen to paper on Monday.

Dreams FC agreed a deal with the Algerian giants for the transfer of the in-form striker who joined from giants Accra Hearts of Oak.

The 24 year old joins Daniel Lomotey (WAFA to ES Setif) and Kwame Opoku (Kotoko to USM Algiers) to be snapped up by a top flight Algerian team in recent times.

Esso scored 11 goals and provided two assist for the Dawu-based outfit this season before his departure.

Esso was recently handed a call up into Ghana’s senior national team for the 2022 AFCON qualifiers with South Africa and Sao Tome after his wonderful output in the Ghana Premier League.

He becomes the third Ghanaian to join the Algerian league in three months after Lomotey and Kwame Opoku.
