Ghana defender Issahaku Yakubu “Leftey” has joined Libyan club Al-Ahli Tripoli on a permanent move from Egyptian team National Bank of Egypt SC. The deal is said to be worth about USD 600,000.
The transfer was completed late on Friday before the Libya window closed. Both clubs agreed on a fee to end the rest of the 31-year-old’s contract, which was meant to finish at the end of the 2025/26 season.
Yakubu leaves National Bank after four and a half good years. He joined them from Wadi Degla SC in September 2021 after playing well there.
He played 82 matches for Wadi Degla, scored two goals, and made 12 assists.
At the Cairo club, he played 143 matches, scored three goals, and made 20 assists.
This season, the left sided player played 14 league games and scored three goals. He helped National Bank move to ninth place with 21 points from 15 matches.
