Despite attracting interest from a French club, Ghanaian defender Jonas Adjei Adjetey has chosen to continue his journey with Swiss giants FC Basel despite interest from French clubs.

Adjetey's outstanding performances for Basel during the recent season have drawn attention from an undisclosed French club, signalling his growing reputation in European football circles.

The 20-year-old defender, who transferred to Basel’s U21 team from Berekum Chelsea in August 2022, impressed the coaching staff enough to earn a promotion to the senior squad last season.

Adjetey demonstrated his defensive prowess in eleven appearances, further cementing his status as a promising talent.

Despite the allure of a potential move to France, the former Berekum Chelsea player has decided to stay with Basel, reaffirming his commitment to the club and his determination to continue his development under their tutelage.

Looking ahead to the upcoming season, Adjetey aims to build on his achievements and secure a more prominent role in the Basel first team as he continues to advance in his footballing career.
