Left-back for the Black Stars Patrick Kpozo has signed for Czech club Bank Ostrava during the summer transfer window.
The 25-year-old signed a two-year contract with Ostrava after spending the previous two seasons with Moldovan champions Sheriff Tiraspol.
The former Inter Allies player was on the verge of joining the club in January, but the deal fell through, prompting him to make the transition towards the conclusion of the season.
After Ghana’s AFCON qualifier against Madagascar, he headed to Czech Republic to finalise the contract. He made his national team debut in this game.
“We had been eyeing him since the winter and already during the winter break we were considering his arrival, but at that time we didn’t want to reach out to the team. We continued to monitor him throughout the spring. Now the negotiations were partially accelerated by health problems on our left side, but that was not the only reason,” said the head of the sports department of FC Baník Ostrava, Luděk Mikloško.
“He is still a relatively young player who played tough matches in the Europa League last season, for example against Manchester United, and we believe that he will be another improvement in the quality of the squad for us,” he added.
