His pace, direct attacking style, technical ability, and confidence in one-on-one situations attracted interest from clubs across Europe before Swansea secured his signature.
Head Coach Vitor Matos Delighted
"He is a young player, who has been exposed to a lot of senior football in Belgium. He will be able to adapt to the physicality, the intensity and the amount of games in the Championship as we know he is a fast and sharp player.
Opoku has joined us here in Austria on our pre-season tour, and he has already completed his first training session. We're excited to have him here."
