South African Premier League powerhouse Orlando Pirates have reportedly expressed interest in securing the signature of Kwame Opoku ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
Opoku, the Asante Kotoko centre-forward, has emerged as a top transfer target for the Soweto-based outfit following his exploits in the Ghana Premier League.
Orlando Pirates have decided to bolster their squad for the 2025-26 season's campaign and they have shown a keen interest to sign the 25-year-old striker to strengthen their upfront.
The South African club have not been clinical upfront this season, leading to the teams’ elimination from the CAF Champions League season. The club’s failure to reach the final has intensified concerns over the effectiveness of the attack.
Opoku rejoined the Asante Kotoko in December 2024 and made an instant impact, netting six goals and providing an assist in 13 Ghana Premier League appearances.
The former Black Stars striker left the Porcupine Warriors in the middle of the 2020/21 campaign to join Algerian club USM Alger.
Following an unsuccessful spell in the North African country, the enterprising attacker returned to relaunch his career, signing a two-and-a-half-year contract with the club.
