Ghanaian forward Daniel Adu-Adjei continued his fine run of form on Thursday night, coming off the bench to score for HNK Rijeka in their UEFA Conference League clash against Slavia Prague.
The 20-year-old attacker netted the only goal to give Rijeka the lead, marking his third goal in as many games and taking his tally to three goals and one assist in his last three appearances.
Adu-Adjei’s sharp form has quickly made him one of Rijeka’s standout performers this season, since joining from English Premier League side AFC Bournemouth.
His decisive impact in Europe comes after back-to-back goal contributions in the Croatian top flight, cementing his growing reputation as one of Ghana’s brightest young prospects abroad.
Supporters have lauded his energy and finishing ability, while Rijeka’s coaching staff have praised his maturity and work ethic.
With the Black Stars set to begin preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Adu-Adjei’s consistent performances could soon put him in contention for a national team call-up.
