In-form Nicholas Opoku pushes for Black Stars recall after stellar KasımpaÅ?a form

Ghana defender Nicholas Opoku is making a thunderous case for a return to the Black Stars following a scintillating run of form with Turkish side Kasımpaşa S.K.

The 26-year-old centre-back has emerged as the most consistent Ghanaian defender currently plying his trade in Europe, delivering commanding performances week in and week out in the Turkish top flight.

His resurgence has not gone unnoticed, with strong indications that he is firmly under consideration for a Black Stars call-up ahead of Ghana’s high-profile international assignments.

Opoku has been a pillar at the heart of KasımpaÅŸa’s backline this season, combining physical dominance with composure and tactical intelligence. His numbers underline his impact.

Beyond the statistics, it is his authority and consistency that have stood out. Opoku reads the game with maturity, marshals the defensive line with confidence, and has demonstrated the ability to neutralize some of the Turkish league’s most dangerous attackers.

His performances have restored memories of the dependable defender who previously featured for Ghana and impressed during earlier international outings. Now sharper, stronger and more experienced, Opoku appears ready to take the next step.

With crucial international fixtures on the horizon, including friendly clashes against European heavyweights Germany and Austria, as well as preparations toward the World Cup proper, the former Amiens man could be handed an opportunity to stake his claim.

Ghana’s technical handlers are believed to be closely monitoring defensive options as they seek stability and depth at the back.

His familiarity with European football, combined with his physicality and improved decision-making, makes him a compelling option as the Black Stars fine-tune their squad ahead of global competition.

After navigating the challenges of club transitions and intense competition, the towering defender has rebuilt his reputation through hard work and consistency.

Now, as Ghana prepares for pivotal tests on the international stage, Nicholas Opoku’s name is once again echoing in selection conversations. Should he receive the nod, it would be a testament to resilience and performance, proof that form, indeed, earns recognition.
