Turkish Super Lig club Trabzonspor Women have completed the signing of Black Queens striker Princella Adubea. The club officially announced the transfer on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, via a statement on their website, but did not disclose the duration of the contract.
Trabzonspor emphasized the importance of this signing as part of their efforts to strengthen the squad after their promotion to the Turkey Insurance Football League. The maroon-blue club has been active in the transfer market, aiming to solidify their position in the Super League following the withdrawal of Samsunspor from the league.
Princella Adubea, 25, brings a wealth of experience to the Turkish club, having played for several teams across Europe. Before her move to Trabzonspor, she was with MS Kiryat Gat in the Israeli Women’s Premier League. Adubea joined the Israeli side in 2022 after a stint with Racing de Santander in Spain. However, her time in Israel was hampered by injuries, which sidelined her for almost seven months. Her absence saw her miss a significant portion of the Black Queens’ 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Adubea’s injury struggles have been a challenge, but Trabzonspor are confident that she will return to her best form as she embarks on this new chapter of her career in Turkey. Her talent as a forward has never been in doubt, and Trabzonspor’s technical team is hopeful that Adubea will add much-needed firepower to their attack as they prepare for a tough season in the Super League.
The Ghanaian striker is no stranger to top-level football. Before her time in Israel and Spain, she made a name for herself at home in Ghana, playing for Ampem Darkoa Ladies. Her prolific goal-scoring ability earned her a move to Europe, and she quickly became one of the standout players in the leagues she played in. Now, she will be looking to replicate that form in Turkey, where Trabzonspor is banking on her experience to help them navigate the challenges of top-flight football.
Adubea has already begun training with her new teammates ahead of Trabzonspor’s upcoming Super League fixture against Fenerbahçe. The club’s technical team is eager to integrate her into the squad and are excited about what she can bring to the team. Although Trabzonspor has not confirmed whether she will feature in their next match, fans are optimistic about her impact and look forward to seeing her in action.
The move to Trabzonspor marks another significant milestone in Adubea’s career, as she continues to build her profile as one of Ghana’s top football exports. Her journey, which began in Ghana’s domestic league, has seen her play in multiple countries, demonstrating her adaptability and skill in different football environments. The Turkish Super Lig will be a new challenge for her, but it is one that she is undoubtedly ready to embrace.
For Trabzonspor, Adubea’s signing is a clear statement of intent as they aim to compete at the highest level of Turkish women’s football. The club’s management has been working hard to bolster the squad, and the addition of an experienced international forward like Adubea could be the key to unlocking more success on the pitch. As Trabzonspor settles into life in the Super League, having a player of Adubea’s caliber could prove to be a game-changer in their quest for stability and success in the league.
The Ghanaian forward will be eager to put her injury troubles behind her and make a fresh start in Turkey. Her ability to score goals, create chances, and bring others into play will be vital for Trabzonspor as they face some of the toughest teams in Turkish women’s football. The club’s supporters will be hoping that Adubea can quickly adapt to the pace of the Turkish Super Lig and help guide the team to a successful season.
This transfer also highlights the increasing presence of African players in European women’s football, with more players from the continent securing moves to clubs in top leagues across Europe. Adubea’s move to Turkey is part of a growing trend of African talent being recognized and given opportunities to shine on the global stage.
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Princella Adubea and how she fares in her new surroundings. Her journey in football has been full of ups and downs, but this move to Trabzonspor presents her with a fresh opportunity to make her mark once again. With the Super League season underway, Trabzonspor and their fans will be hoping that Adubea’s addition to the squad will bring the goals and performances needed to secure a strong finish in the league.
In the coming weeks, Trabzonspor Women will look to build on their transfer activity and continue to strengthen the team as they aim to compete with the best in Turkey. Princella Adubea’s arrival is just one piece of the puzzle, but it is a significant one, and the club will be counting on her experience and quality to make a difference in their campaign.
For Adubea, the chance to prove herself in a new league and a new country is an exciting prospect. She has already shown her talent in various leagues, and now, Trabzonspor will be the latest club to benefit from her abilities. As the Turkish Super Lig season unfolds, fans of the maroon-blue club will be eagerly watching to see how their new signing performs on the big stage.
