JOSEPH ESSO COMPLETES USM ALGER SWITCH

Ghana and Dreams FC striker, Joseph Esso has completed his transfer to Algerian giants USM Algiers.

Esso signed a 3 year deal with the club on Monday following a successful medical.

The 24-year-old, who joined Dreams FC from Hearts of Oak last year, becomes the third striker to move to Algeria from the Ghana Premier League after Daniel Lomotey and Kwame Opoku joined ES Setif and USM Alger respectively.

Dreams FC announced the deal last month but the player continued to stay with the Dawu-based club where he has scored 11 goals in 19 games this season.

Esso earned a first Black Stars call-up last month but was an unused substitute in two AFCON qualifying matches against South Africa and Sao Tome and Principe.
