Ghanaian teen sensation, Christopher Bonsu Baah has completed his move to Belgium giants KRC Genk.

In his three months at Sarpsborg, Baah scored a goal and provided an assist in 12 matches, as reported by Trasnfermarkt.

"I have known the club for some time. When I was little, I played on FIFA with KRC Genk because of players like De Bruyne and Courtois," he said, as quoted by the club's official website.

"When I heard about KRC Genk's interest, I didn't hesitate for a second, despite interest from other teams. Being part of the club myself now feels like the right choice at the right time. I can't wait to develop further," he added.

Genk's Head of Football, Dimitri de Conde shared his excitement at the capture of the teenager, who was also on the radar of English clubs.

"We are happy to be able to strengthen ourselves with an undeniable talent like Christopher," he said.

"As a flank attacker, he is a real dribbler who, in combination with his speed, is only too happy to face a one-on-one confrontation with a defender. His physical parameters are also unseen for his age," he added.

"Christopher's qualities fit perfectly into our club's vision of football. We are absolutely thrilled that we were able to convince him of our project and can't wait to get started with him. At KRC Genk he finds himself in the ideal environment to take the next steps in his career before he makes the transition to the European top."
