Ghana defender Jerome Opoku, who is on the books of Portuguese side Arouca, has taken to Instagram to announce his engagement to his white girlfriend.
The footballer shared photos of himself going on his knees to propose to his partner, accompanied by the caption: “It was always you.”
The centre-back spent the 2023/24 season on loan at Turkish Superlig side Istanbul Basakşehir, where he made 34 appearances in all competitions.
The 25-year-old was also a regular in the club’s UEFA Europa Conference League campaign, although they didn’t go far in the competition.
As reward for his impressive performances in the just-ended season, Opoku earned a call-up for Ghana’s upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Mali and the Central African Republic (CAR).
The England-born defender, however, decided to propose to his girlfriend before joining the national team camp.
