“I am so happy to come to Malmo, it is a big club that is doing very well, that plays in Europe. It’s a great feeling to be here and I’m looking forward to getting started,” he said.
“As a player, I would describe myself as aggressive, as a leader and I love helping my teammates. Malmo is a fantastic club that I believe will give me great opportunities, being part of this club will help me develop as a player,” he added.
Jeffrey Aubynn, a chief scout in Sweden believes Israel Anum has the capabilities to flourish in Sweden.
“Israel is a player I have been down and watched in Ghana. A modern centre-back in the sense that he may not be the typical big centre-back but he is more athletic, very mobile, fast, quick, incredibly resilient and well-trained. He has received a great education in the Right to Dream Academy.”
