Former Asante Kotoko striker Kwame Opoku is set for a potential return to the club, as he is expected to arrive in Kumasi in the coming days. The 25-year-old forward, who is currently a free agent, will begin with a trial period at the club, after which a formal contract could be offered based on his performance.
Opoku, who played a key role for Kotoko during his first stint with the club, left in 2021 after securing a move to USM Alger in Algeria. During his time with the Porcupine Warriors, he impressed with his goal-scoring abilities and earned a reputation as one of the top young forwards in the Ghana Premier League. His departure left a gap in the team’s attacking lineup, which Kotoko has since struggled to fill effectively.
Since parting ways with USM Alger, Opoku has been without a club, making him available for a return to Kotoko. His potential comeback is seen as a significant move for the Kumasi-based club, which is eager to bolster its attacking options ahead of the upcoming Ghana Premier League season.
For Kwame Opoku, this trial could serve as an opportunity to reignite his career and regain his form in a familiar environment. If successful, a second spell at Kotoko would be a chance to further endear himself to the fans and help the club in its quest for domestic and continental glory.
Fans of the club are eagerly awaiting his arrival in Kumasi, hopeful that he can once again make a meaningful impact in the red shirt.
