Asante Kotoko have completed the signing of William Opoku Mensah on the 2019/20 Ghana Premier League first transfer window deadline day.
The former Karela United forward joins the Porcupine Warriors on a one-year deal after an unsuccessful stint with United State League side Swope Park Rangers.
Opoku Mensah, 24, describes his move as a dream-come-true as he revealed his age-long admiration and desire to don the red shirt.
“I grew up hearing the names of former Kotoko greats like Opoku Nti, Dogo Moro, Baba Yara and Nana Arhin Duah,” says the player whose idol is Senegal and Liverpool great, Sadio Mane.
“It has been my desire for years to be part of this club and wear the famous red jersey. I promise to give more than 100 per cent and asks that the fans support me.”
He started his young career at Bayern Munich FC in Sekondi Takoradi before moving to University of Cape Coast Youngsters, Danbort FC and Eleven Wise.
The swift-moving attacker who has also featured for MLS side Kansas City is remembered for netting a hat-trick against Hearts of Oak in the 2017/18 Ghana Premier League which was truncated due to Anas exposé.
