“Kwasi is a young player who took his commitment to development and improving seriously,” said the Forge FC head coach and sporting director.
“He fought to warrant his place on our roster and in our team, worked to make his mark in the Canadian Premier League and has parlayed the opportunity he earned on home soil into a chance to test himself in a top league in Europe.
“His is an example that all up-and-coming Canadian soccer players should strive to follow. We look forward to seeing where his career takes him from here.”
In 14 games after converting from a left-back to a striker earlier this year, Poku scored 10 goals, including memorable finishes against Major League Soccer clubs CF Montréal and Toronto FC as well as eight in the Canada League to push Forge toward the top of the table.
