Ibrahim Alhassan ‘Muazam’ has said he is happy to return to Portugal after two years in Belgium.
He is Boavista FC’s first signing for the new season after he signed a contract valid for the next two years.
“I am very happy. Signing for Boavista was an easy decision, firstly because I know how great the club is and also because I have already played in Portugal, which I consider to be my second home,” said the 27-year-old player.
“I am very excited about this challenge and I can’t wait to meet my new teammates and start this adventure.”.
The defensive midfielder, who has been linked to Beerschot VA for the last two years (he was champion of the II League last season), having played a total of 43 games for the Belgian club, considers himself a “player who always works at the limit, comfortable with the ball and aggressive when recovering”.
“I usually play as a defensive midfielder, but last season I often played in central defence. I am a team player and I am always available to help my teammates, whatever the position,” he continued.
Ibrahim Alhassan is back in Portuguese football, having also represented CD Nacional for four seasons, between 2018 and 2022. He played twice at the Bessa Stadium, describing it as “incredible”.
“The atmosphere was spectacular and the fans are always supporting, making it difficult for the opponents. Fortunately, now I’m on this side, it will be easier to play at Bessa”, he said, with a smile on his face.
“I realized that here we value it a lot when players leave everything on the field and I can say that I fit into that category. I always give 100% for the club I represent, that’s my way of being, and I feel that I can create that connection with the fans.”
