Michael Anaba (born 30 December 1993) is a Ghanaian professional footballer who plays for Spanish side Elche CF as a midfielder.[1]

Club career

Born in Kumasi, Anaba started his professional football career with Windy Professionals, a division two football team based in Winneba.[2] He joined Asante Kotoko in September 2011,[3] and featured regularly for the side, also winning the Ghana Premier League in the 2012–13 campaign.[4]

In January 2013 Kotoko blocked Anaba's move to Valencia CF.[5] He was also linked to Parma F.C. in the same transfer window, but nothing came of it.

In late July 2013, Anaba joined Elche CF in a trial basis. On 13 August, the club agreed a fee with Kotoko,[6] and the player signed a four-year deal late in the month.[7]

Anaba was initially assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B. In July 2014 he was called up to the main squad for the pre-season,[8] being definitely promoted to the first-team in the following month.

On 11 October 2014 Anaba returned to the B-side, due to the lack of opportunities in the main squad.[9] He only made his first team debut on 30 August 2015, playing the last 13 minutes in a 2–1 Segunda División home win against Bilbao Athletic.[10]

International career

Anaba was a member of the Ghana under-20's during the 2013 African U-20 Championship qualification for the 2013 African U-20 Championship. In 2013, he was named in Sellas Tetteh's 23-man squad for the 2013 tournament, hosted in Algeria.[11] He was appoited vice-captain, and featured regularly during the tournament.[12]

Anaba was also selected to 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup hosted in Turkey.[13] He was used mainly as a substitute during the competition, but started and captained his side in a 1–2 loss against France.[14] Anaba also appeared in the third-place match, again from the bench in a 3–0 win against Iraq.[15]
