Newcastle sign youngster Wiafe Danquah

Newcastle United have signed the young Frank Wiafe Danquah, who last season attracted attention by becoming top scorer for the club’s reserve team.

The player signed a contract for the coming two seasons.

Wiafe Danquah, born in Ghana, began in the youth teams of Ajax Amsterdam in the Netherlands. After a spell at First Division side FC Omniworld he was given a trial by Newcastle.

Last year he was selected for the A-squad once, but was left on the bench for the match with Everton.

The 18-year-old also has a Dutch passport, and wants to try and conquer a spot in the Dutch U-19 squad.
