English-born Ghanaian forward Daniel Adu-Adjei has signed a four-year contract with Croatian champions HNK Rijeka.<\/p>\n

He joined from English Premier League side Bournemouth for an undisclosed fee.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old, who is a product of the Cherries\u2019 academy, spent four years at the club, including scoring 25 goals in his maiden season with the under-18s.<\/p>\n

Adu-Adjei made his Bournemouth debut against QPR in the FA Cup in January 2024 and is now set for an opportunity to play regular senior football in a competitive European league.<\/p>\n

AFC Bournemouth say they \u201cwould like to thank Daniel for his dedication and commitment throughout his time with the club\u201d and \u201cwish him every success in the next chapter of his career.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement released, Rijeka said the youngster\u2019s arrival will \u201cstrengthen our attack in the rest of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt that the club really wanted me and that is the main reason why I am here,\u201d Adu-Adjei told Rijeka media.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t wait to meet the teammates and fans and play for the first team. I decided to join Rijeka because of the club\u2019s ambition and everything the club has achieved.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy wish this season is of course to be as well placed as possible in the championship and the Cup, and to achieve the best possible results in the group stage of European competitions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rijeka will also look to cement their place in this season\u2019s Europa League on Thursday, taking a 1-0 aggregate lead into their play-off second leg against PAOK.<\/p>\n

On the domestic front, the defending champions have had a slow start to the campaign, losing two of their first four matches.<\/p>\n
