Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu (born 2 December 1990 in Berekum), known mononymously as Badu (/bɑːˈduː/ bah-DOO), is a Ghanaian international footballer who plays for Serie A club Udinese as a midfielder.

Club career

Badu began his career at Berlin F.C. based in Berekum, Brong-Ahafo, before later signing for Berekum Arsenal.[3] Badu was announced in the Ghana Premier League All Star Team[3] on 21 May 2007.

Berekum Arsenal and Recreativo de Huelva

On 11 July 2008, Badu left Berekum Arsenal, signing a one-year loan contract with Asante Kotoko.[4]

Badu had trials in England with Middlesbrough in August 2008[5] and at Wolverhampton Wanderers three months later.[6][7]

Badu then signed on 16 April 2009 a six months loan contract with Recreativo de Huelva, on loan from Berlin FC.[8][9] Reuters quoted a source from a Berlin FC official, that the loan cost Recreativo about €30,000 (US$40,000),[10] while Associated Press reported his new club holds an option for a contract between 30 June 2012 and the loan will effective until the opening of 2009 summer transfer window.[11] His contract with the Spanish club Recreativo de Huelva was dissolved in September 2009 and he moved back to Asante Kotoko.[12]

Udinese

In November 2009, BBC and Sky Sports announced the Italian Serie A side Udinese Calcio would sign Badu in January 2010[13][14] and on 28 January 2010, the Udine club announced on its official site the permanent signing of the player from Berlin FC.[15] Badu received his first first team call-up against A.C. Milan on 12 February, but did not play. After a successive "appearances" as unused sub, he replaced Paolo Sammarco on 28 March 2010 against Fiorentina, which Udinese lost 1–4.

Badu became a regular in 2011–12 season, replacing departed Gökhan İnler in new 4–1–4–1 or 4–4–1–1 formation against Arsenal. Badu was one of the cover of attacking midfielder Giampiero Pinzi along with countryman Kwadwo Asamoah.

International career

Badu has represented Ghana at under-20, under-23 and senior level. On 22 May 2008, he received his first call-up to the Black Stars.[16] Badu's first senior international appearance came on 8 June 2008 against Lesotho[17] and his first goal against Congo in June 2011.

Youth career

On 1 January 2009, he was named in the Black Satellites squad for the 2009 African Youth Championship in Rwanda.[18][19] Badu played for the Black Stars' domestic based team at the 2009 African Championship of Nations in Côte d'Ivoire[20] and represented his team at 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Egypt.[21]

Badu scored the winning sudden death penalty on 16 October 2009 in the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup Final against Brazil. The penalty made Ghana the first African nation to win the FIFA U-20 World Cup.[22]

Senior career

In 2010, Badu was selected for his first Africa Cup of Nations as the Black Stars finished runners-up to Egypt, and went on to appear in the 2012 and 2013 editions of the tournament, with the team twice recording fourth-placed finishes.[22]

During the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations, in a group match between Ghana and Guinea, Badu flipped up a teammate's pass from just outside the penalty area and launched a mid-air volley to score a goal that was later nominated for the 2012 FIFA Puskás Award (FIFA's global Goal of the Year award).

After missing the 2010 FIFA World Cup through injury,[22] Badu was selected in Ghana's squad for the 2014 tournament.[23]
