Sampson Eduku: Former Samartex Forward Joins Asante Kotoko

Ghana premier league giants Kumasi Asante Kotoko has announced the signing of experienced forward Sampson Eduku on a one-and-a-half-year contract. The 29-year-old striker brings a wealth of experience to the Porcupine Warriors, having previously played for Samartex and Tamale City. During the 2022/23 season with Tamale City, Eduku was sinscintillating form, netting 14 goals and providing 4 assists. His impressive performances earned him a move to Iraqi Premier League side Al Quwa Al Jawiya, where he further showcased his goal-scoring prowess. Head Coach Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum welcomed Eduku’s addition to the squad, stating: “Sampson is a proven goal scorer with great versatility and experience. His ability to find the back of the net and create opportunities for others will add a ne...

Hearts of Oak beat Legon Cities to go second on the league standings

Legon Cities' woes this season have been further compounded after they were beaten 1-0 in the capital derby against Accra Hearts of Oak on Friday January 3, 2025. Ahmed Ramzy Yussif’s first half strike turned the game on its head and left the visitors with a pyramid to climb at the bottom of the Premier League table. The win has left the Phobians to second position in the table with 28 points from 16 games while Cities remain at the bottom with 11 points in what has been a difficult campaign for the Royals. The match also saw Hearts of Oak reduced to 10 men after Emmanuel Amankwah received a red card in the 80th minute. Despite the numerical disadvantage, the team held firm to secure the win.

Legon Cities officially appoints Yaw Acheampong as new head coach

Legon Cities have officially announced the appointment of Yaw Acheampong as their new Head Coach. Acheampong takes over from Paa Kwesi Fabin, whose contract was terminated following a poor run of results. The experienced tactician would be hoping to guide the 'Royals' to safety as they are currently rock bottom of the league with 11 points. Acheampong would be yearning for a good start with the club when they play Accra Hearts of Oak later on Friday at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium. Acheampong was recently dismissed as head coach of Aduana Stars after inconsistent results in the ongoing 2024-25 Ghana Premier League. It would certainly be a tough task for Acheampong as he seeks to rescue Legon Cities, who have some tough upcoming fixtures.

Striker Kwame Poku rejoins Kumasi Asante Kotoko

Kumasi Asante Kotoko, one of the Ghana Premier League’s most prominent clubs, has announced the return of striker Kwame Poku on a two-and-a-half-year deal. The 27-year-old forward, who previously had a successful stint with the Porcupine Warriors during the 2020/21 season, is set to don the number 31 jersey as he aims to reignite his career and bolster Kotoko’s attacking lineup. Poku initially made a significant impact at Kotoko, scoring six goals and providing three assists in 16 appearances, which earned him a high-profile move to Algerian side USM Alger. Following a less fruitful spell in Algeria and a stint at Moroccan club Olympique Khouribga, the former Nkoranza Warriors player has returned to the Ghana Premier League with a renewed focus. Head Coach Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum exp...
