Gideon Mensah ready for Vitória SC challenge

Black Stars defender Gideon Mensah is delighted after completing a loan move to Portuguese side SC Vitória Guimarães.

Mensah joins on a season-long loan from Red Bull Salzburg and says he is ready to make an impact with his versatility.

"I am very happy to have signed for Vitória. I am very focused on the goals that the team has for this season and very eager to help," Mensah said in an interview.

"I am a player who does all the positions on the left side, I am very offensive and I know that, in the defensive moment, it cannot be easy to get past me. I am defensively combative but I like to play, I have a good relationship with the ball and I am a very attacking propensity."

The left-winger will be at the service of Vitória until the end of the current season. The Portuguese club has the option to purchase the Ghanaian international for 2.2 million euros.
