The Ghanaian striker wrapped up the deal on Wednesday, but is still in Israel finalising work-permit issues before he joins his new teammates. “It’s a big step for me and a big opportunity because the Dutch League is hugely respected and my new club are involved in the Champions League,” he tells KickOffGhana.com. Osei is hoping his fine goalscoring prowess will aid him in becoming a regular for Steve McClaren’s side. He was second top scorer at the 2007 World Youth Championships before hitting six goals to help Ghana win the African Youth Championships in Rwanda early this year. Osei is also hoping the move to Holland will help him break into the senior national team and push for a place in the side that is increasingly looking like sure bets for another World Cup appearance. Managed by super agent Pini Zahivi, the former Kessben FC player is also aware a good display will help activate a deal with Manchester City, which gives them first option on his services when he becomes eligible for work-permit after impressing on trials there last year.
