Berekum Chelsea have completed the signing of Ghanaian center-back Shadirac Chyreme Say on a two-year contract as preparations continue for the upcoming domestic football season.
The 22-year-old joins the Ghana Premier League side as part of the club’s efforts to reinforce its defensive department and build a competitive squad capable of challenging strongly during the new campaign.
Say returns to Ghana following a spell in Hungary, where he played for Ferencvárosi TC II, the reserve team of Hungarian giants Ferencváros.
During his time in Hungary, the young defender competed in the NB III, gaining valuable experience in a demanding European football environment. His exposure abroad is expected to improve the quality, depth and competition within Berekum Chelsea’s defense.
The center-back had been without a club since July 2026 before reaching an agreement with the Berekum-based team. His move provides him with an opportunity to revive his career, secure regular first-team football and demonstrate the experience he acquired in Europe.
Berekum Chelsea will be hoping that Say’s arrival brings greater stability to their backline. As a central defender, he is expected to compete for a starting position while providing the technical team with another option throughout the long domestic season.
His age also makes the transfer an investment for the future. At 22, Say still has considerable room for development and could become an important figure at the club if he adjusts quickly to the tactical and physical demands of the Ghana Premier League.
The two-year agreement gives the defender enough time to establish himself within the squad and contribute to the club’s ambitions. Strong performances could also place him on the radar of other clubs and earn him another opportunity to continue his career abroad.
For Say, the move marks a fresh chapter after his experience with Ferencvárosi TC II. Returning home is expected to offer him more consistent playing opportunities and a platform to rebuild momentum.
His knowledge of a European football system could also benefit Berekum Chelsea’s younger players, particularly those hoping to secure transfers abroad in the future.
The signing forms part of Berekum Chelsea’s broader recruitment strategy ahead of the new season. The club is expected to continue assessing areas of the squad that require reinforcement before the transfer window closes.
Supporters will be eager to see how quickly Say settles into the team and whether he can help improve Berekum Chelsea’s defensive record.
The defender is expected to join his new teammates for preseason training as the technical staff prepare the squad for the challenges of the upcoming Ghana Premier League campaign.
