Majeed Waris looks ahead after failed Alaves move in summer - Agent

Yussif Chibsah says Ghanaian striker Majeed Waris is looking ahead after his move to Spanish side Deportivo Alavés fell through in the summer transfer window.

The 27-year-old proposed move to Alavés did not materialise despite completing his mandatory medical at Vitoria-Gasteiz.

Club president Alfonso Fernández de Trocóniz told Spanish newspaper Marca that the move collapsed because of a proposed clause by Waris' parent club FC Porto, but the player's agent Yussif Chibsah disagrees.

"To be honest Majeed [Waris] is already looking ahead after this disappointing and unprofessional episode in Spain," Chibsah told BBC Sport.

"He had three other options in France but after undergoing medicals and everything was agreed between both clubs, Alaves pulled out.

"They came out to apologise to us but it was already too late. This is purely unprofessional and Alaves could've done things in a better way."

FC Porto have already registered him for the 2019/20 Portuguese season but his agent and former Ghanaian midfielder Chibsah has not ruled out a move in the future.

"What is important is to turn the page and concentrate on his training because these things happen," said Chibsah.

"Transfers happen all the time and anything is still possible in football, but I believe this experience will only make him stronger."

Waris has previously played in Sweden, Russia, France, and Turkey,

Despite an international career blighted by injury, the former FC Nantes striker has made 32 appearances and four goals for Ghana.
