Ghana international Elisha Owusu has promised to give his all for Erzurumspor FK after completing his transfer to the newly promoted Turkish Super Lig outfit.
The 28-year-old midfielder has brought his three-and-a-half-year association with French side AJ Auxerre to an end, officially joining Erzurumspor as he embarks on a new chapter in Turkey.
Owusu has agreed a two-year contract with the Turkish club, who have moved swiftly to bolster their squad ahead of their return to the top flight.
Erzurumspor confirmed the arrival of Owusu alongside Portuguese winger Miguel Cardoso, who joins from Kayserispor, with the Ghanaian handed the number 42 shirt.
“Erzurumspor, continuing its transfer efforts, has signed two new players. Finally, a two-year agreement was reached with Miguel Cardoso, who most recently played for Kayserispor, and with midfielder Elisha Owusu, who played for AJ Auxerre in the French Ligue 1.”

“Our new signings Miguel Cardoso, will wear number 20, and Elisha Owusu will wear number 42. We wish both of our players success wearing our glorious jersey. Welcome Miguel Cardoso & Elisha Owusu,” the Turkish club said.
Owusu, who has earned international recognition with the Black Stars, has already set his sights on making a strong impression at his new home.
In his first message to the Erzurumspor faithful, the combative midfielder expressed his excitement about the move and pledged to fight for the club whenever he takes to the pitch.
“I’m very excited to be here. I can’t wait to step onto the pitch to fight for Erzurumspor and meet all of you,” Owusu said.
The former Gent midfielder now faces the challenge of helping Erzurumspor establish themselves in the Turkish top flight following their promotion.
