This is his first stint in Indian football.

Gokulam Kerala FC have announced the signing of Rahim Osumanu, a striker from Ghana.

The 26-year-old striker from Ghana comes to Gokulam with a wealth of experience playing in various countries such as Ethiopia, Algeria, and Zambia.

He made much of his name as a ruthless striker in Zambia where he netted 12 goals in 25 appearances for the super league side Buildcon FC. He later moved to Zesco United in Zambia in 2018 where he netted twice in the CAF Champions League and Confederation Cup.

“This is my first stint in India. I am looking forward to a superb season ahead and the fans will get to know who I am shortly. I have started training and we are all set for our first championship of the season,” said Rahim Osumanu.

 “He is a box player and he is a top finisher. He is equally good in aerial duels. Also, his leadership skills are top-notch. I believe he can make a big impact in Asia,” said GKFC head coach Vincenzo Alberto Annese.
