Bundesliga 3 team, VfL Osnabruck confirmed the arrival of Ghanaian winger Aaron Opoku on a season-long loan from Hamburger SV in the second tier.

After completing his necessary medical exam earlier today, the promising winger joins the Stadion a der Bremer Brucke squad.

After signing on the dotted line for the Osnabruck-based club, the impressive left-footed sensation voiced his delight at his loan agreement and declared his desire to have a successful league campaign this season.

“I’m happy that the loan to VfL worked out. Sports director Amir Shapourzadeh and head coach Daniel Scherning absolutely convinced me of the game idea and the challenge and also put a lot of effort into looking after me. Of course, I also asked Ludovit Reis, among others, and he only gave me positive reports. I signed with VfL with a really good feeling and am now looking forward to getting to know the team, to be on the pitch as quickly as possible and to our loud fans at the Bremer Brucke,” the left-footed winger told the club’s official website.

Amir Shapourzadeh, the club’s sporting director, praised the 22-year-old after he was signed in the ongoing transfer window for the club’s 2021-22 league campaign, having beaten off competition from other clubs this summer.

“Aaron Opoku was at the top of our wish list for the winger we were looking for. He’s fast, strong at one-on-one, creates moments of surprise and scores goals. We are convinced that he will enrich the offensive power of our team and that the fans will also enjoy his style of play, ”explains VfL sporting director Amir Shapourzadeh.

“In the past, Aaron has already shown what he’s made of at Hansa Rostock and in Regensburg. He also currently had various offers from the 3rd division and clubs from abroad. We are pleased that he has decided in favor of the Bremer Brücke and our game idea and we would like to thank those responsible at HSV who made this loan possible.”
