Swedish club Helsingborgs IF announce the signing of Asante Kotoko youngster Joseph Amoako

Swedish side Helsingborgs IF have announced the signing of Asante Kotoko youngster Joseph Amoako on loan with a purchase option.

The 19-year-old Porcupine winger will be playing for the Swedish outfit for seven months in the 2022 Allsvenskan season which is scheduled to start April 9 and end in November.

The club announced on Saturday morning via their social media pages and the club’s official website.

Speaking to the club’s website, Joseph Amoako says he is happy to be with the Swedish side.

“It’s an honour to be here. I am happy and grateful to be a part of this family. Benjamin Acquah has told me that it is a family club, that everyone around the club is friendly and that everyone will take care of me as they did with him. I am a fast outfielder who likes to challenge and is good with both feet. Olympia is a great arena and I look forward to playing matches here, says the outer forward.”

Kotoko announced signing the talented teenager on October 7, 2021, before the commencement of the ongoing 2021/22 Ghana Premier League.

Amoako made his competitive debut on the opening day of the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League (GPL) with a start in their come-from-behind victory over Dreams FC at the Accra Sports Stadium.

He went on to play 52 minutes in the second match of the season – a 2-0 win over Bechem.
But a training ground injury after match-day 3 kept him out for a couple of weeks.
He has made the bench six times since returning to full fitness.

Amoako was spotted in the stands when Kotoko defeated Medeama SC in a GPL match-day 14 fixture on Sunday.
