Ghana international forward Felix Afena-Gyan has extended his AS Roma contract until 2026.
The 19-year-old will remain tied to the Serie A giants for the next four seasons.
He made 17 Serie A appearances for the side managed by Jose Mourinho last season.
Gyan spoke after signing his fresh contract.
“I am really pleased to have signed this contract: every since I arrived at this club my aim was to reach the first team and since I did that my life has changed a lot,” Afena-Gyan said.
“Now I need to just concentrate on continuing to improve, I am motived to start the new season in the best possible way.”
After making his professional debut against Cagliari in October 2021, he scored two late goals in an unforgettable substitute appearance against Genoa a few weeks later.
He has since made his international debut for Ghana, assisting his country’s qualification for the upcoming World Cup following a hard-fought play-off victory over Nigeria.
“Felix has vast room for improvement and has the opportunity to make the most of that potential under the guidance of Jose Mourinho, a coach who is pivotal to the development of our young players,” said Tiago Pinto, the club’s General Manager.
“This contract extension also represents another demonstration of how the link between our first-team squad and our academy setup.
