English Championship side Swansea City have agreed a deal to sign Ghanaian winger Joseph Opoku from Belgian Pro League club Zulte Waregem in the ongoing summer transfer window.
The 20-year-old is expected to fly out to Austria in the coming days to complete a medical, where head coach Vítor Matos’s squad are currently based for a pre-season training camp.
Once the paperwork is finalised, Opoku will become Swansea’s fourth summer signing following the earlier arrivals of Celtic defender Stephen Welsh, Red Bull Salzburg winger Moussa Yeo, and Finnish midfielder Leo Walta.
Swansea beat off competition from several clubs including fellow Championship side Hull City, Italian Serie A club Genoa, Turkish Süper Lig side Trabzonspor, Russian outfit Krasnodar and Spanish La Liga club Real Sociedad to to secure Opoku’s signature.
Opoku joined Zulte Waregem in August 2024 from Ghanaian side Great Corinthians FC on a two-year contract, having first impressed the club’s technical team during a trial. He played a starring role as the club won the 2024/25 Challenger Pro League title and secured promotion to the Belgian Pro League.
