Atletico Madrid have reached an agreement to sign Ghanaian teenager Sadick Adams on a pre-contract.

Adams, who turns 18 on January 1, currently plays for Ashanti Gold Sporting Club in his homeland and recently helped Ghana reach the semi-finals of the 2007 Under-17 World Cup.

“I would like to come to play in Europe and to go to Atletico Madrid is a dream,” said Adams, who will play with Atletico’s B side if the move goes through at the start of next year.

“In Ghana we follow a lot of Spanish football and it is a country we like for the way they play football and the atmosphere at the games.

“My objective is to grow as a player at Atletico.

“I liked Atletico because of Fernando Torres and now I follow him at Liverpool,” the striker added on Atletico’s official website.
