The French club Toulouse is on the verge of signing Francis Abu, an important player for Cercle Brugge since his arrival in 2022. The Ghanaian, who turns 24 this year and wears number 21, has developed into a key player in the Belgian Pro League over his five-year tenure with Cercle Brugge. Over his career at Cercle Brugge, Abu has played more than 60 league matches, scoring 8 goals and providing 7 assists.
Abu's consistent performances in midfield, combining defensive discipline with creative passing, have made him one of the club's standout performers. With one year left on his contract, Cercle Brugge is open to selling Abu for a better offer.
Before joining Cercle Brugge, Abu began his professional career at Danish side FC Nordsjaelland. He made his senior debut in the 2019/20 season and developed into a dynamic midfielder capable of playing across multiple central roles.
At the international level, Abu has earned five caps for the Ghana national team, demonstrating his rise to prominence on the national scene. Toulouse enjoyed a positive 2024/25 Ligue 1 campaign, finishing 10th in the table.
The club is looking to improve their standing and possibly push towards the upper half of the league, and Abu fits this profile perfectly with his hardworking style and ball-carrying abilities. His arrival will strengthen Toulouse's midfield and enhance their chances for success in the upcoming season.
