Ghanaian right winger Gilbert Koomson is rumoured to be closing in on a move to Kazakh Premier Liga side Atyrau after becoming a free agent.
The 31-year-old, currently listed as “without club” following the expiry of his last contract, is being linked with the Premier Liga outfit in a deal that would see him arrive on a free transfer. Data from Transfermarkt places the probability of the transfer as unclear, with the move marked simply as “?” in terms of likelihood.
Koomson, valued at €125k, would represent a low-cost option for Atyrau as they look to add experience and pace in wide areas. Born in Accra on 9 September 1994, the 1.80m attacker is predominantly a right-footed right winger but can operate across the front line, offering tactical flexibility.
The Ghanaian is currently unattached, meaning any agreement would not require a transfer fee and could be concluded outside of a traditional window, subject to local registration rules. His status as a free agent follows the end of his most recent club deal, though the specific club and date of his last competitive appearance are not detailed in the available data.
There is no official confirmation yet from Atyrau or the player’s camp, and no formal indication of contract length or terms. The latest update on the rumour, dated 29 May 2026 at 13:45, lists the potential move from “Without Club” to Atyrau in Kazakhstan’s top flight.
If completed, a switch to Atyrau would give Koomson a platform to re-establish himself in a top division and could prove a pivotal step in reshaping his career trajectory and market reputation in the coming seasons.
