She shone brightly at the 2018 Fifa U20 Women's World Cup in France and also impressed with the Black Queens at the 2019 Wafu Women's Cup in Cote d'Ivoire.

Having completed her move, she becomes the fifth African at Logrono after Equatorial Guinea duo Jade Boho, Chuigoue Dorine, Zambia's Barbara Banda and Cote d'Ivoire's Ida Guehai.

Asantewaa will team up with her new team for the pre-season camp in the coming days ahead of the new season which starts in September.

Logrono will begin their second campaign in the top-flight at home against Rayo Vallecano on September 8 and she will hope to make a winning debut in Spain.
