Wakaso joins Las Palmas

Ghana midfielder Mubarak Wakaso has
completed a move to Spanish side UD Las
Palmas. The former Espanyol winger has
agreed to join the newly promoted Islanders on
a one-year loan with an option to a permanent
move from Russian club Rubin Kazan. Wakaso, 25, will undergo his medical and be
officially presented by Las Palmas at the press
room of the Estadio de Gran Canaria at 12:30
pm on Monday. The former AshantiGold
trainee has immense knowledge of the
Spanish game, having had his first stint in Europe at Elche where he spent three seasons
from 2008. He then joined Villarreal in 2011 but
switched to Espanyol after one season.
Wakaso got signed by Russian spenders
Rubin Kazan in 2013 but the Ghana
international struggled to make an impact. He then spent the 2014/15 season on loan at
Scottish side Celtic. This summer, he was
close to joining Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad
and successfully passed his medical but the
club pulled out after being alerted of engaging
two agents.
