Ghana international Gideon Mensah has emerged as a top transfer target for Portuguese giants FC Porto as the summer transfer window approaches.
Porto have been inconsistent this season and are seeking to bolster their squad for the upcoming campaign as they seeks to make impact.
Sportstimesgh.com understands Porto have identified the former WAFA star as the perfect player to solidify their defense heading into the new campaign.
Mensah, who is in the final year of his contract has performed admirably for the AJ Auxerre, making 26 appearances and delivering an assist.
Having previously featured in both Ligue 1 and the Belgian Pro League, Mensah has built a reputation for his consistent performances and ability to adjust seamlessly to various tactical setups.
However, FC Porto faces competition from Sheffield United, who are also seeking to secure the services of Mensah for the new campaign.
Meanwhile, Belgian champions Antwerp have reportedly made concrete steps toward securing his services, with preparations for a two-year contract offer already underway in a bid to steal a march on their rivals.
Mensah’s background, which includes a stint with Zulte Waregem, adds to his appeal, bringing a blend of French and Belgian league experience that aligns well with Porto’s preference for versatile, battle-tested players.
