Joseph Opoku seals Swansea City move

Swansea City is pleased to confirm the club has reached an agreement to complete the signing of winger Joseph Opoku.

The 20-year-old signs on a four-year deal which includes the option of an additional 12 months.

A youth product of Ghanaian club Great Corinthians FC, Opuku made the switch to Belgium in 2024 to join Pro League side, Jong Essevee. 

The same year, the youngster moved to Zulte Waregem, helping them win the Challenger Pro League and earned promotion to the Pro League.

After a successful breakthrough 2025/26 campaign for the Belgian side – where he scored 10 goals and provided six assists in 34 league appearances - he made his first senior appearance for Ghana in May 2026.

The right-footed winger will look to add depth and pace to Swansea City’s attack as he did so whilst helping Waregem to promotion.

Head coach Vitor Matos said: “He is a young player, who has been exposed to a lot of senior football in Belgium.

“He will be able to adapt to the physicality, the intensity and the amount of games in the Championship as we know he is a fast and sharp player.

“Opoku has joined us here in Austria, and he has had his first training session and we’re excited to have him here.

Sporting Director Ben Stevens said: "Really excited with Joseph joining us and looking forward to seeing his attacking potential flourish in Vitor’s team. 

Two full seasons with Zulte Waregem in Belgian’s top division plus being involved with Ghana national teams highlight the ability of this young talent."
