The transfer marks a significant move for Bawuah, who has progressed through PSV's youth academy since joining in 2018. He made his debut for Jong PSV at 16 and went on to play 60 times in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie, scoring three goals. Bawuah also made his Eredivisie debut for PSV in April, playing in a match against PEC Zwolle.

FC Twente's acquisition of Bawuah is a significant coup for the club, with Erik ten Hag praising the midfielder's technical ability and defensive qualities. Ten Hag believes Bawuah has the potential to develop further and play a key role for the team.
