Derick, who speaks good English, expressed his excitement about his new club.

“I like the way this club is set up. The Manager is very good and I have been made to feel very welcome. I have always enjoyed watching English football and this is a great challenge for me, one I am looking forward to a lot.”

The young striker is still available to play for Ghana at the senior level despite representing France at youth level.
