PSV Eindhoven has sold Jordy Bawuah to FC Twente. The 19-year-old Belgian midfielder is signing a long-term contract in Enschede, as confirmed by PSV reporter Rik Elfrink in the Eindhovens Dagblad this week.
Bawuah was removed from the Jong PSV squad on Friday ahead of the match against RKC. He is traveling to Enschede to finalize the move. The transfer ends his stint at PSV, where he has been in the youth academy since 2018 after joining from KRC Genk.
What does Bawuah bring to FC Twente?
FC Twente is strengthening its squad with a young, versatile midfielder. Bawuah is a defensive midfielder standing 1.82 meters tall with Ghanaian roots, but he also has experience as a left winger, attacking midfielder, striker, and right-back. This season, he captained Jong PSV in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie, appearing in three matches. Last season, he played twenty games and scored one goal at that level.
His arrival gives manager Erik ten Hag additional options in midfield. FC Twente recently reached the group stage of the Conference League and needs more depth. Bawuah joins players like Ramiz Zerrouki and Mathias Kjolo. You can view the full roster on our squad page.
What was PSV's role in this transfer?
PSV deliberately chose to sell the youth international. Bawuah had a contract with PSV until mid-2027. His market value is estimated at 500,000 euros, making him an affordable reinforcement for FC Twente. The Enschede-based club had been scouting him over the past week, according to technical director Jan Streuer.
For PSV, this represents the progression of an academy player. Bawuah made his Eredivisie debut last season with a ten-minute substitute appearance against PEC Zwolle. His departure fits a broader pattern of youth transfers. The first team's performance can be tracked on our standings page.
How does Bawuah fit into the current squad?
At FC Twente, Bawuah enters a crowded midfield. Besides the players already mentioned, the club also has Daouda Weidmann, Thomas van den Belt, Gijs Besselink, and Benjamin Nagel under contract for that position. His versatility could be an asset during a long season with European fixtures.
As a ten-time Belgian youth international, he brings international experience. His physical presence and leadership qualities, demonstrated as captain of Jong PSV, are additional positives. The coming weeks will show how quickly he can adapt to the level at FC Twente.
What are the financial details of the deal?
The exact transfer fee has not been disclosed. However, it is clear that Bawuah is an affordable purchase for FC Twente, considering his contract length at PSV and his market value. The long-term contract in Enschede gives him the opportunity to develop at the highest level.
For PSV, the sale generates a modest fee and creates space in the academy. It's a transaction that makes sense for both clubs at this moment. FC Twente gets an immediate boost, while PSV allows a youth player to take a step up. Statistics for all Eredivisie players are available on our stats page.
The transfer of Jordy Bawuah is now complete. He swaps the PSV youth setup for a chance in the FC Twente first team, which faces a busy schedule of both domestic and European commitments.
