Ghanaian forward Joseph Opoku is close to joining Championship side Swansea City, who have agreed a deal to sign him from Belgian Pro League club Zulte Waregem.
According to Flashscore, the 20-year-old is expected to fly to Austria in the coming days to complete a medical with the club, as they are currently in pre-season.
Opoku is expected to be Swansea's fourth summer signing after signing Celtic defender Stephen Welsh, Red Bull Salzburg winger Moussa Yeo, and Finnish midfielder Leo Walta.
The Championship side beat competition from Hull City, Genoa, Trabzonspor, Krasnodar and Real Sociedad to secure the services of the Ghanaian.
Opoku joined Zulte Waregem in August 2024 from Ghanaian side Great Corinthians FC on a two-year contract. The forward played a starring role as the club won the 2024/25 Challenger Pro League title and secured promotion to the Belgian Pro League.
His performances earned him a contract extension in July 2025, tying him to the club for two additional years with an option for two more.
In the 2025/26 season, Opoku registered 10 goals and 16 assists across all competitions and was named Jupiler Pro League Player of the Month for April 2026.
