Ghanaian-born youngster Samuel Wiafe has joined Italian Serie A side Genoa.

He has signed a contract that will run up to 2030 after Genoa paid Modena €2.5 million for his services.

The 18-year-old Ghanaian captured the attention of many suitors with eye-catching performances in Serie B.

In the 2025-2026 season, he scored 7 times and provided 4 assists in 21 games with the Primavera squad before his Serie B debut, where he had 9 appearances and 1 assist for the first team.

“Joining Serie A is a dream come true,” said Wiafe, who is on national duty with Italy at the U19 European Championship.
