Sturm Graz have reportedly struck a deal to bring Ghanaian winger Araphat Mohammed to Austria on a free transfer, with the youngster set to leave FC Nordsjælland after failing to agree on a new contract with the Danish club.

Mohammed first arrived in Europe in February 2024, joining Nordsjælland from Ghana's renowned Right to Dream Academy.

He had spent more than eight years at the academy before making the move to Denmark, where he was widely regarded as an exciting prospect with strong technical qualities and a left-footed dynamism that attracted attention.

His time at Nordsjælland, however, did not result in a contract renewal, leaving him free to pursue other options across Europe's leagues.

The move to Sturm Graz represents the latest chapter in a well-worn pathway for Right to Dream graduates.

The academy, based in Ghana, has consistently produced players who go on to forge careers at the senior level in Europe's top divisions.

Mohammed Kudus, now a prominent figure in European club football, and Ernest Nuamah both came through the same academy before establishing themselves abroad.

Sturm Graz will be hoping Mohammed can follow a comparable trajectory and fulfil the promise he showed during his formative years in Ghana.

The Austrian side finished runners-up in the Bundesliga last season and have shown consistent ambition in recent transfer windows.

For Mohammed, the move offers a platform to earn regular first-team football and demonstrate his abilities at a club with European experience.

YEN.com.gh earlier reported that Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly interested in signing Prince Amoako Junior.

The 19-year-old Ghanaian winger joined Danish side FC Nordsjælland from the Right to Dream Academy on a free transfer in February 2025.
