Edmund Baidoo (born 30 January 2006) is a Ghanaian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Austrian Bundesliga club Red Bull Salzburg.
Club career
Sogndal
Sogndal began scouting Ghanaian players in the early 2010s, when director of sports Håvard Flo brought Gilbert Koomson and Mahatma Otoo to Fosshaugane. Flo maintained his network over the next decade, and managed to sign Edmund Baidoo in the winter of 2024, owing to Flo's "relations" in Ghana as well as "a solid dose of luck". Edmund Baidoo joined Sogndal's training camp in the winter of 2024, and as well as impressing skill-wise, he seemed to be able to integrate into Norwegian football. He was signed from Asanska as a winger to operated wide in the field, as opposed to Sogndal's now-sold winger Sondre Ørjasæter who usually sought space centrally. Baidoo was also compared to Akor Adams, who joined Sogndal from West Africa at a similar age. Baidoo had never travelled outside of Ghana.
He made his league debut for Sogndal against newly relegated Vålerenga, and immediately made his mark with an assist. When Baidoo scored again in the third match of the season, Sogn Avis spotted player agent Jim Solbakken as well as representatives of Bodø/Glimt, Brann and Molde in the stands. In May 2024, Expressen reported an alleged interest in Baidoo from Malmö FF. Belgian media reported on interest from that country. Baidoo proceeded to score the winning goal against Lyn in Sogndal's first away victory of the year, in June. In the next match, scoring one goal and having the assist to the other led to the commentator calling Baidoo a "jewel".
Red Bull Salzburg
On 29 August 2024, Baidoo joined Austrian Bundesliga side Red Bull Salzburg on a permanent deal, signing a five-year contract.
