Novara Football Club has officially announced a strategic addition to its defensive line, securing the services of young right-back Gracien Deseri. The signing, confirmed by the club, sees the 17-year-old join Novara on a two-year contract, signaling an investment in the club`s future.
Deseri, born in 2006, arrives from the youth sector of Genoa, a club renowned for its academy. He possesses dual Italian and Congolese nationality, adding an international dimension to his profile. Last season, Deseri was a prominent figure for Genoa`s Primavera squad, participating in the highly competitive Primavera 1 championship. His record of 35 appearances and one goal demonstrates both durability and a willingness to contribute beyond purely defensive duties – perhaps a hint of offensive flair, or simply a rare moment of glory for a fullback.
The agreement ties Deseri to Novara until June 30, 2027. This biennial contract suggests Novara views him not just as an immediate asset but as a player with significant potential for development over the coming seasons within their setup.
The acquisition of Deseri aligns with a clear objective for Novara to strengthen its defensive options and integrate promising young talent into the senior squad. His experience at the Primavera 1 level, considered a top tier for youth football in Italy, provides a solid foundation for adapting to senior professional demands.
Novara Football Club has extended its customary welcome to Gracien, expressing anticipation for his contribution to the team. The focus will now be on how quickly the young defender can transition from youth football dynamics to the rigors of the senior game and fulfill the potential identified by the club`s management.
