Joseph Opoku: Swansea City Eye Move for Zulte Waregem’s Ghanaian Winger

Swansea City are being linked with a move for Ghanaian left winger Joseph Opoku, who currently plays for Belgian side Zulte Waregem in the Jupiler Pro League. The Championship club are monitoring the 20-year-old as they assess wide options ahead of the new season.

Opoku is under contract with Zulte Waregem until 30 June 2027, meaning Swansea would need to agree a fee to prise him away from Belgium. The winger is currently valued at around €4.5 million, a figure likely to shape any negotiation between the two clubs if interest develops into a formal approach.

The Ghanaian has broken through at senior level with Zulte Waregem, earning regular minutes in Belgium’s top flight and attracting attention from scouts across Europe. His performances on the left flank have put him on the radar of recruitment teams looking for pace and direct attacking threat in wide areas.

A switch to Swansea would represent a first move to English football for Opoku and a step into the Championship, a league where the Welsh club continue to rebuild their squad with younger players tied to longer-term contracts. Zulte Waregem, protected by the length of his current deal, are under no immediate pressure to sell and would be in a strong position to hold out for a substantial offer.

For now, Opoku remains a Zulte Waregem player with a contract running to 2027, leaving any potential transfer dependent on Swansea turning interest into a concrete bid and the Belgian club’s willingness to negotiate.
