In an exciting development for fans of Asante Kotoko SC, the club has officially announced the return of striker Kwame Opoku to the fold. The dynamic forward, affectionately known as “Bayie,” is set to don the iconic red jersey once again as he re-joins the Porcupine Warriors.
Opoku’s return is seen as a significant boost for Kotoko, given his previous exploits with the club. During his earlier stint, the prolific striker made a name for himself as a goal poacher with his clinical finishing, tireless work ethic, and ability to deliver in crucial moments. His performances earned him admiration from the Kotoko faithful and caught the attention of clubs abroad.
The 27-year-old striker rejoins the Porcupine Warriors after a memorable stint in the 2020/21 season, during which he netted 6 goals and provided 3 assists in just 16 appearances. His impressive performances saw him earn a move to USM Alger in Algeria before continuing his career at Moroccan outfit Olympique Khouribga.
Poku will now wear the iconic number 31 jersey as he returns to bolster the Kotoko attack and contribute to the team’s ambitions in both domestic and continental competitions this season and beyond.
The management of Asante Kotoko SC expressed their delight at securing Opoku’s services, calling it a strategic move to bolster the team’s attacking options as they aim for domestic and continental glory. “We are thrilled to welcome Bayie back to Asante Kotoko SC,” the club stated. “His return reflects our commitment to strengthening the squad and achieving our ambitions this season.”
Opoku himself shared his excitement about the move, expressing gratitude to the club and its fans for their unwavering support. “It feels great to be back home. I’m ready to give my all and contribute to the success of this great club,” he said.
Fans have already taken to social media to celebrate the return of the striker. The buzz around Opoku’s comeback signals high expectations as he prepares to reignite his career with the Porcupine Warriors.
Asante Kotoko SC supporters will eagerly await his first appearance since returning, hoping he can replicate and exceed his previous success at the club.
