Belgium’s record champions, RSC Anderlecht, have bolstered their defensive ranks with the loan signing of rising Ghanaian star Antwi Dacosta from Young Apostles FC. The 18-year-old central defender joins Anderlecht’s RSCA Futures squad on a season-long loan, with the option for a permanent transfer—signaling the club’s continued commitment to developing top young talent.
Dacosta’s move marks a major milestone in his career, as he takes his first steps into European football. The highly-rated teenager made waves in the Ghana Premier League with his assured displays at the back, impressing with his positional awareness, crisp tackling, and ball-playing ability far beyond his years.
Anderlecht, long respected for nurturing young players into elite professionals, identified Dacosta as a standout prospect and acted swiftly to bring him into their development setup. RSCA Futures, the club’s U23 side that competes in Belgium’s second tier, will provide the ideal platform for Dacosta to adjust to European football while refining his skills in a competitive environment.
The leadership at Young Apostles FC, proud of their protégé’s progress, praised the move and expressed high hopes for his future.
“Antwi has earned this opportunity with his hard work and discipline,” a club spokesperson said. “We are confident he’ll thrive at Anderlecht and continue to grow into the top player we know he can be.”
Dacosta’s arrival continues Anderlecht’s tradition of welcoming and developing African talent, a pathway that has led to successful careers for many players across Europe’s top leagues. With his raw potential and hunger to improve, Antwi Dacosta is one to watch as he begins this pivotal chapter in Brussels.
