Joseph Opoku: Trabzonspor linked with €3m move for Zulte Waregem winger

Trabzonspor are being linked with a move for Zulte Waregem’s Ghanaian left winger Joseph Opoku, according to transfer listings dated 26 May 2026.

The 20-year-old, valued at €3.00m, is reported to be on the Turkish club’s radar as they assess wide options ahead of the new Süper Lig campaign. Data from Transfermarkt shows the Black Sea side are exploring a deal with Zulte Waregem, though the probability of the transfer is currently listed only as “?”, underlining that talks, if any, are at an early and speculative stage.

Opoku, who wears the number 22 shirt for the Belgian club, operates primarily as an attacking left winger but is right‑footed, offering the possibility of cutting inside from the flank. Standing at 1.72m and born on 8 August 2005, he is viewed as a developing prospect rather than a finished product.

The player’s contract details at Zulte Waregem are not publicly specified in the latest data, with no start date or expiry date recorded. That absence has fuelled discussion that he could, in theory, become a free agent if his existing deal is close to, or has already, run down, potentially lowering the financial barrier for a move even though his market valuation remains at €3.00m.

Opoku is currently listed with Zulte Waregem in the Jupiler Pro League structure, and his national team entry also refers to the Belgian side, with no senior international caps for Ghana recorded in the data. Detailed recent match statistics – including opponents, scorelines and individual contributions – are not provided, so his latest performances cannot be independently verified from the available figures.

With his value holding at €3.00m and interest emerging from a major Turkish club, any switch from Belgium to the Süper Lig would mark a significant next step in Opoku’s career and could prove pivotal in shaping both his reputation in European football and his long‑term potential if the move ultimately materialises.
