I-League 2018/19: Top 5 foreigners to watch out for

#3 William Opoku

The youngster will be very useful for Minerva Punjab FC in the I-League

The Ghanian footballer had nothing to boast about when he joined Minerva Punjab FC last season. But he became a vital member of the squad which won the I-League last year. The midfielder impressed during the campaign and even scored 5 goals in the 18 matches he played for the side.

He scored the title-winning goal for the Punjab based side against Churchill Brothers last season. Opoku has been playing well in the pre-season also, having scored in the Jammu and invitational tournament a few days back.

The final of the tournament between Minerva Punjab FC and Real Kashmir FC was called off yesterday due to violent situations prevailing in the Kashmir valley.

Minerva Punjab FC will miss the likes of Kassim Aidara, Abhishek Ambekar, Eric Dano and most importantly the Bhutanese magician Chencho Gyeltshen who currently plays for Bengaluru FC.

Opoku will have to shoulder the responsibility of leading the title defence for Minerva Punjab FC along with other new recruits like Yu Kuboki, Philip Njoku and Lancine Toure.
