Smouha SC Set to Part Ways with Stephen Amankona as Contract Termination Looms
Egyptian Premier League side Smouha SC are reportedly preparing to part ways with Ghanaian forward Stephen Amankona, with a contract termination now looking increasingly likely.
Amankona joined the Alexandria-based outfit last summer amid high expectations following his promising displays prior to the move. The striker was seen as an attacking option capable of adding pace, directness and goals to Smouha’s frontline as they aimed to strengthen their squad for the domestic campaign.
However, his stint in Egypt has not gone according to plan. Limited playing time, stiff competition for places and inconsistent performances have made it difficult for the Ghanaian to cement a regular starting role. Despite flashes of quality, Amankona has struggled to make the kind of lasting impact both the club and supporters had hoped for.
Sources close to the situation indicate that discussions are underway regarding a mutual termination of his contract, which would allow both parties to move forward. Smouha are believed to be keen on reshaping their squad ahead of the next phase of the season, while Amankona is understood to be open to exploring new opportunities where he can secure regular minutes.
A return to Ghana or a switch to another North African or Middle Eastern club could be possible options for the striker as he looks to revive his momentum and rediscover his scoring touch.
An official announcement from Smouha is expected in the coming days as the situation reaches its final stages.
