Ghanaian defender Patrick Kpozo has officially signed for Czech Republic top-flight side FC Banik Ostrava, the club has confirmed.
The former FC Sheriff Tiraspol left-back has signed for the Blue and Whites outfit on a two-year deal from the Yellow and Blacks outfit ahead of the 2023-24 season.
“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.
The former Inter Allies FC player grabbed his first international senior cap for Ghana against Madagascar in Antananarivo on June 18 in the fifth game of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
