Asante Kotoko Announce Signing of Top Striker Ahead of Hearts of Oak Clash

• Ghanaian giants Kumasi Asante Kotoko have completed the signing of striker Kwame Opoku
• The former Ashantigold striker returns to the Porcupine Warriors after spells in Algeria and Morocco
• The Kumasi-based club will host their sworn rivals Hearts of Oak in the first of this season's Super Clash on Sunday

Kwame Opoku has rejoined Kumasi Asante Kotoko after spells in Algeria and Morocco.

The 27-year-old signed a two-and-a-half-year deal pending medical and international transfer clearance to complete his return.

The Ghana international enjoyed an outstanding run in his first spell, scoring six goals and delivering three assists before USM Alger came calling.

However, his time in Algeria proved tough, forcing him to move to Morocco, where he signed for Olympique Khourigba.

“It’s a great feeling to be back at Kotoko. This club has always felt like home to me, and I’m eager to contribute to the team’s success. The support from the fans has been incredible, even during my time away, and I’m ready to give everything on the pitch to make them proud," he said, as quoted by the club's official website.
