Former Ghana U-17 forward Kwadwo ‘Mahala’ Opoku has joined Major League Soccer’s LAFC from Ghana’s Attram De Visser academy.
The 19-year-old striker moves to the United States after his excellent performances at the club owned by former Ghanaian international Godwin Attram.
The former Black Starlets attacker will occupy an international spot on the Club’s roster pending receipt of his International Transfer Certificate (ITC) and P1 Visa.
“We are pleased to announce Mahala as our first signing from the Attram De Visser Soccer Academy and look forward to her continued growth as a professional,” said LAFC Co-President and General Manager John Thorrington.
“This movement and partnership with the Academy demonstrates our continued commitment to our player development system, and we are excited to provide Ghana’s young players with the opportunity to train and develop at LAFC for years to come.”
Opoku scored 29 goals in 64 games for the Attram De Visser Football Academy.
He has also represented Ghana in the U-17 and U-20 categories, including their participation in the 2017 U-17 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon, where they participated in two of the team’s group stage matches .
