FC Milsami have bolstered their squad with the signing of Ghanaian left-back Frederick Takyi, marking a significant addition to their defence ahead of their Champions League campaign.
Takyi, 25, joins the Moldovan champions on a two-year contract following his arrival in the country three days ago.
His signing was officially confirmed after completing all formalities, including a medical assessment.
Trained at Ghana’s Charity Stars, Takyi’s professional journey has seen him play in Portugal, where he notably featured for Moreirense.
His time in Europe has equipped him with valuable experience, and he now prepares for a new challenge in Eastern Europe with FC Milsami, who recently secured the Moldovan Super Liga title.
With the club’s focus now shifting toward the UEFA Champions League preliminary rounds, Takyi’s arrival is seen as a timely boost.
FC Milsami are set to face Finnish outfit KuPS in the opening round of qualification next week, and the Ghanaian defender is expected to feature prominently as the team attempts to advance to the next stage.
Speaking after his signing, Takyi expressed his excitement at joining the Moldovan side: “It’s a great opportunity for me.
I’m looking forward to helping the team both in the league and in Europe. I’ve been welcomed warmly, and I’m eager to get started.”
The defender is joining a growing contingent of African talent at the club. FC Milsami already count Mali’s Sibiry Keita and Burkina Faso’s Razack Yoda among their ranks, creating a strong African presence within the squad.
The addition of Takyi brings further depth to the team’s defensive options as they prepare for a demanding season ahead, both domestically and in Europe.
This signing also aligns with Milsami’s broader strategy of recruiting talented players from across the African continent, a move that has served them well in recent campaigns.
The club’s recruitment policy has increasingly focused on combining local talent with international experience to build a balanced and competitive team.
Takyi’s versatility and pace on the left flank are qualities that Milsami head coach Veaceslav Rusnac is likely to utilize, especially in high-intensity matches.
His ability to defend resolutely while offering width in attack could prove invaluable in both the Moldovan league and European fixtures.
As FC Milsami aim to make a deep run in the Champions League qualifiers, expectations will be high for the Ghanaian defender.
The upcoming clash with KuPS will not only serve as his potential debut but also as a critical test for the entire squad as they look to carry their domestic success onto the continental stage.
With preparations now in full swing, all eyes will be on Takyi and his new teammates as they seek to add another chapter to the club’s growing legacy.
