Bechem United striker Francis Dadzie on trial at Portland Timbers

Francis Dadzie is on trial at Portland Timbers.

Bechem United striker Francis Dadzie has joined Major League Soccer side Portland Timbers for pre-season training in a bid to secure a contract, MTNFootball.com can has reported. 

Accra-based ArthurLegacy Sports Management arranged for the 18-year old to train with the first team for a month hoping to impress for a permanent deal.

Dadzie is a highly-rated striking prospect bought from Cheetah FC last August and Bechem United are hopeful he can be as successful as former Ghana international Tony Yeboah.

”Dadzie is a big deal because he is a natural goalscorer with the rare big left-foot and talent in the shadow of compatriot Tony Yeboah,” FIFA agent Oliver Arthur sounded positive about the player's prospects.

Portland Timbers have earmarked the giant Ghana striker for a first team place if he impresses on the one-month trial.

They were winners of the Western Conference and third-best overall in the MLS last season.
