With the winter market in full swing, forward Mohammed Dauda, a 25-year-old Ghanaian standing 1.74 meters tall, has already moved onto the scene again. He is due to arrive this Wednesday and Eldense has offered him a path forward. The attacker is set to join his seventh professional club, adding to a career that has traversed Asante Kotoko, Anderlecht, Vitesse, Esbjerg, Cartagena, and Tenerife.
There was even contact from the Tenerife camp, but a midseason exodus last summer prevented a quick move. Dauda insisted on staying put and pushing for another opportunity, a decision that complicated any immediate transfer plans for the coaching staff led by Asier Garitano. The stance from Eldense kept the window closed to new signings during the ongoing operation, showing how delicate moves can be when a team relies on a striker mid-season.

However, the numbers have not improved for the current campaign. Dauda has not been starved of chances, whether starting or coming off the bench. He has appeared in eleven matches, starting three times. The disciplinary ledger reads four yellow cards and one red in these appearances. Across three and a half seasons in the Spanish Second Division, he has collected up to four red cards, a notable tally for a forward.
The Ghanaian forward also endured a muscle injury at the end of October while taking a corner in training, which sidelined him at a critical stretch of the first half of the season. Tenerife supporters watched with concern as the club paid a transfer sum of 405,000 euros to Anderlecht in recognition of Dauda’s potential after impressive performances at Cartagena.
Eldense convinced striker Mo Dauda
This version of Mo Dauda represents the form Eldense hopes to recapture since his Albinegro days. He scored nine goals and delivered one assist in 38 matches during the 21-22 season, a productive stretch that hasn’t fully carried over to latest turnouts. Several metrics that attracted Tenerife’s interest remain highlights, even if the most recent spell hasn’t mirrored that peak. With a contract through 2026, this move reads as a chance for Dauda to rebuild confidence as a striker in a system that suits his diverse attacking profile.

A versatile offensive talent, Dauda has joined Eldense with the aim of strengthening a squad that looks for balance in the front line. His arrival expands the roster in a way that suits the team’s two-way approach as envisioned by the coach. The Ghanaian typically operates from the left flank, yet his skill set allows him to feature on the right or contribute as a winger or even a midfielder when necessary.
While he is not a classic all-purpose “9,” Dauda’s scoring instincts align with the club’s requirements. His inclusion will occur gradually, given the limited minutes he has logged in recent months, but the potential to unlock new attacking dynamics is clear. The broader plan emphasizes a flexible front line rather than a rigid striker-centric setup.
