Amiens SC signs Ghanaian defender Nicholas Opoku

Relegated French Ligue 1 side, Amiens SC has completed the signing of Ghanaian defender Nicholas Opoku from Udinese in the on-going summer transfer window.

Opoku signed a season-long deal with the club after successful negotiations with Udinese and passing his mandatory medical.

The 23-year-old spent the second half of the 2019/20 season with Amiens SC on loan and made 7 appearances for the club before the campaign was ended abruptly because of the Coronavirus pandemic

Below is the club's statement confirming the capture of the Ghanaian.

"Amiens SC are pleased to announce the return to the club of Nicholas Opoku. Already loaned to Amiens SC last season, Nicholas Opoku returns to Picardy for this new 2020-2021 season."

"The 23-year-old Ghanaian international, who belongs to Udinese, therefore comes to strengthen the defense of Luka Elsner. He had already played 7 games as a holder when he was on loan at the start of 2020 before the end of the championship."

Welcome home, Nicholas!
