Jamal Amofa is on the verge of sealing a return to Dutch football, with Eerste Divisie side SC Cambuur poised to complete his signing from Bulgarian outfit Botev Plovdiv.
The Dutch-born defender of Ghanaian heritage is expected to undergo a medical on Tuesday.
Should the results be favourable, his unveiling is anticipated later this week.
According to reports from Voetbal International, Amofa is set to sign a multi-year contract with Cambuur as they look to strengthen their backline ahead of the upcoming season.
Amofa began his professional career with ADO Den Haag before making a notable impression at Go Ahead Eagles.
His solid defensive displays caught the attention of clubs beyond the Netherlands, eventually leading to a move to Bulgaria’s top flight with Botev Plovdiv.
However, the 25-year-old’s stint abroad is now nearing its conclusion, with Cambuur determined to bring him back into the Dutch fold.
Sources close to the club indicate that Cambuur view Amofa as a key addition to their defensive unit as they prepare for a competitive push in the second tier.
The club is rebuilding after a turbulent campaign and sees Amofa’s experience, both domestically and abroad, as a crucial asset.
Though born and raised in the Netherlands, Amofa has consistently expressed his desire to represent Ghana at the international level.
“My heart has always been with the Black Stars,” he has previously stated, reiterating his ambition to don the Ghanaian jersey.
His return to Dutch football comes at a pivotal time in his career, with regular playing time and consistent performances likely to boost his chances of earning a national team call-up.
The Dutch league’s visibility and structure could offer Amofa a more suitable platform to reignite that ambition.
For Cambuur, this signing marks a continuation of their strategy to acquire experienced but still-developing players who can immediately contribute to their promotion aspirations.
The club hopes Amofa’s familiarity with Dutch football, combined with the growth he experienced abroad, will make for a seamless transition.
With the final medical assessments expected shortly, Cambuur’s move for Jamal Amofa appears to be a matter of when, not if.
