Michael Anaba joins Lithuanian side Kauno Zalgiris

Former Asante Kotoko midfielder Michael Anaba has sealed a transfer move to Lithuanian elite division side Kauno Zalgiris.

The former Ghana youth star has signed a one-year contract with the Europa Conference League side.

He joins the Lithunaian side after leaving Spanish lower tier side Atzeneta.

"At first, I would like to thank the club's coaches and management for giving me the chance. It is a privilege to join the club as it is one of the best teams in the country competing in Europe. 

"The decision was not difficult, as the offer was one of the best, and I am satisfied with the club's high ambitions. I hope that the rest of the season will be very good for us," said Michael Anaba after completing his move.

"I remember that coach Saulius, who arrived then, changed the dynamics of the team and we became competitive in the Swedish league. 

"I remember the coach as a real professional, very strong tactically, with character and like a father to all the players. I hope that we will be able to meet him in Lithuania," he added.

The midfielder has in the past played for Elche, Alcoyano, Eldense and Ontinyent in Spain.
