Opoku's club LAFC made the surprise announcement that the club has traded the promising Ghanaian winger Kwadwo to the Impact's for $1.75 million in general allocation money (GAM) and according to LAFC, it's for $1,650,000 in 2023 GAM and $100,000 in 2024 GAM.
“We are very pleased with this acquisition. He is a young player who already possesses good experience in the league, notably having won the MLS Cup last year as a decisive player with LAFC," said CF Montréal Vice-President and Chief Sporting Officer Olivier Renard.
“He will offer us something different from our existing player pool, with his speed and one-on-one ability. It is a profile we've been lacking in our squad. I am convinced he will be able to continue his progression with us," Renard added.
The former Ghana U-17 and U-20 star joins Montréal after winning the 2022 MLS Cup with LAFC.
In three and a half seasons with the Californian club, the 21-year-old Ghanaian attacker played 60 games, including 35 starts, and 3,254 minutes of play, while netting nine goals and providing seven assists.
However, in the MLS Cup playoffs, he featured in four games, scoring in LAFC's 3-0 victory over Austin FC in the Western Conference final last October.
Before leaving the shores of Ghana to North America, he scored 29 goals in 64 games with the Attram De Visser Soccer Academy.
