FC Winterthur has signed Ghanaian midfielder Emmanuel Essiam on loan from FC Basel until the summer of 2027.
FC Winterthur signed Essiam as a dynamic option to strengthen their central midfield over the long term.
The 22-year-old Ghana U-23 international already knows Swiss football well, having arrived from the Ghana Premier League to Basel in early 2022. Since then, he has made over 40 appearances in the Super League, Challenge League and Swiss Cup for Basel, Stade-Lausanne-Ouchy, and FC Aarau.
After a spell disrupted by injuries, Essiam moved on loan to Belgian second-division side Royal Francs Borains to regain valuable match fitness.
Following a sporting reshuffle at the club, the 2021 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations winner returned to Basel, where he remains under contract until 2028.
Now, he is set for a fresh start in Winterthur, where he is expected to bolster the heart of midfield once he has fully settled into his new surroundings.
