The 23-year-old midfielder, who started his youth career at Sweden\u2019s Brommapojkarna academy and later gained professional experience with AIK, impressed over the last two seasons at Norrko\u0308ping. Last season, Ceesay featured in 16 Allsvenskan League matches, scoring once and registering an assist. His tactical awareness, aerial ability, and discipline on the field have been widely praised.<\/p>\n

Antalyaspor, aiming to strengthen their squad during the 2025 summer transfer window, believe Ceesay will add both physicality and tactical depth to their midfield. The club\u2019s management expressed optimism that the young Gambian\u2019s arrival will bolster their push in domestic competitions.<\/p>\n

Ceesay\u2019s move marks another step in the growing trend of Gambian talent making an impact in European leagues, and fans will be watching closely as he begins life in Turkey\u2019s Su\u0308per Lig.<\/p>\n
