Born in Accra, Alhassan started out as a junior at the African Talent Football Academy in Ghana. He then moved to the youth setup of Spanish club Real Valladolid, making his senior debut for the reserves in a 2–3 away Segunda División B loss to Navalcarnero on 28 October 2018.

Hermannstadt

[edit | edit source]

On 7 October 2020, Alhassan joined Romanian team Hermannstadt as a free agent.[1] Eleven days later, he made his Liga I debut in a 1–1 draw with UTA Arad. He scored his first goal—and the only of the match—in a league fixture against Politehnica Iași on 15 May 2021.[2] Alhassan amassed 24 appearances in all competitions in the 2020–21 season, with his club losing the relegation play-offs against Mioveni 1–2 on aggregate.

The following campaign, Alhassan aided with seven goals from 27 league appearances as "the Red and Blacks" finished as Liga II runners-up and returned to the top division. On 15 July 2022, in the season's opener, he scored his first Liga I double in a 3–0 Liga I home defeat of Mioveni.[3]

In October 2023, Alhassan agreed to a contract extension lasting until 2026.[4] On 9 December, Hermannstadt chairman Dănuț Coman stated that he was in negotiations with fellow league clubs and rivals FCSB and Rapid București for the transfer of Alhassan.[5]

FCSB

[edit | edit source]

On 12 December 2023, FCSB general manager Mihai Stoica announced the signing of Alhassan,[6] with the player due to join the team in the winter transfer window. The Roș-albaștrii paid €600,000 and Hermannstadt also retained 20% interest on the capital gain of a possible future transfer.[7] The move was confirmed by FCSB on 23 December.[8]

Alhassan recorded his debut on 21 January 2024, coming on as a 75th-minute substitute for Octavian Popescu in a 4–0 Liga I thrashing of UTA Arad.
