Ghana defender Abdul Mumin has declared himself ready to make an immediate impact at Girona after being officially presented as the club’s latest signing.
The 28-year-old central defender joined the Spanish side with the objective of helping them secure an immediate return to La Liga after their relegation to the Segunda División.
Mumin, who has previous experience in the Spanish top flight with Rayo Vallecano, says he arrives in Girona in good physical and mental condition after being involved with the Ghana national team.
“I feel very good. I returned before the last week and have played a couple of matches. I was with the Ghana team at the World Cup. Physically and mentally, I am ready to play,” Mumin said during his presentation.
The defender also explained why he chose Girona despite having other options available to him.
“I think it is the right club for me. It has a great reputation in Europe and is a big club. I think it’s a good project for me and for any footballer. That’s why I chose Girona,” he said.
Mumin has already settled into his new surroundings and was full of praise for the welcome he has received from his new teammates and the coaching staff.
“The first days have been very good. They speak Catalan, which is a bit different from Spanish, and they speak very fast, but the players are very good people, and the staff is also very good,” he said.
“They have supported me very well, and I already feel like I’ve been here for a couple of months.”
Mumin said the support from the dressing room has made his transition easier as he prepares for his first season with Girona.
“I feel very supported. The first days have been very easy because they have been very kind to me, both in the locker room and outside, and they have tried to help me adapt perfectly,” he added.
The Ghanaian will now look to translate that positive start into performances on the pitch as Girona begin their push for promotion.
