Black Stars defender Gideon Mensah has expressed his happiness for completing his move to Portuguese side SC Vitória Guimarães.

Mensah was announced on Monday as a new addition to the Portuguese top-flight side on a season long loan from Red Bull Salzburg.

The 19-year-old expressed his satisfaction of making the switch to Vitória when speaking to the club's media.

"I am very happy to have signed for Vitória. I am very focused on the goals that the team has for this season and very eager to help," he said.

"I am a player who does all the positions on the left side, I am very offensive and I know that, in the defensive moment, it cannot be easy to pass me. I am defensively combative but I like to play, I have a good relationship with the ball and I am a a very attacking propensity."

The left-back will be at the service of the Vitória until the end of the 2020/2021 season.

Vitória have an option to buy the Ghanaian international for 2.2 million Euros.
