Swansea City are reportedly interested in signing Ghanaian forward Joseph Opoku from Zulte Waregem, according to HNB. The 20-year-old's impressive debut season in the Belgian Pro League has caught the eye of the Championship club.
What's the interest in Opoku?
Swansea City's interest in Opoku is hardly surprising, given his impressive form last season. The 20-year-old played 34 games for Zulte Waregem in the top flight of Belgian football, scoring 10 goals and providing six assists. He provided his side with a direct attacking outlet capable of playing up front or out wide.
Why it matters for Swansea City
Losing Opoku to Swansea would be a significant loss for Zulte Waregem, but not a surprising one given how well he played and his relatively young age. The side have not been that active in the transfer window and would certainly need to shop around for a replacement should Swansea agree a fee for the forward.
What comes next?
Swansea City are currently 11th in the Championship, 64 points from 46 games, with a recent form of WDWLW. They are 31 points behind leaders Coventry and will be looking to strengthen their squad in the transfer window. With Opoku's impressive form, it's no surprise that Swansea City are interested in signing him.
In the current season, Swansea City have scored 57 goals and conceded 59, resulting in a -2 goal difference. The team's recent form has been WDWLW, and they are looking to improve their position in the league. With Opoku's skills, Swansea City could be a stronger contender in the Championship.
