Medeama SC youngster Kelvin Nkrumah set to complete move to FC Porto

The highly-rated midfielder is set to finalize the switch after returning from the ongoing WAFU B U-20 Championship, where he is leading Ghana’s Black Satellites in their quest for regional glory.

Sources close to the deal indicate that Nkrumah will initially link up with Porto’s U-19 side as part of the club’s player development pathway before pushing for promotion to the reserve team and eventually the senior squad.

The move comes on the back of two impressive seasons with Medeama, during which the midfielder established himself as one of the brightest young talents in Ghanaian football.

Nkrumah made 57 appearances across the last two Ghana Premier League campaigns, scoring two goals in 30 league matches during the most recent season.

Although his goal return was modest, the 19-year-old earned widespread praise for his composure in midfield, leadership qualities, work rate, and tactical intelligence.

His performances also caught the attention of the senior national team selectors, earning him an invitation to train with the Black Stars at one point last season.

The signing represents another investment in emerging African talent for Porto, with the Portuguese club renowned for developing young players into elite professionals.

The transfer is expected to be completed immediately after Ghana’s participation in the WAFU B U-20 Championship, after which Nkrumah will travel to Portugal to begin the next chapter of his career.

His impending move is another positive signal for the Ghana Premier League, highlighting the growing recognition of the country’s young talents by top European clubs.

If completed as expected, Nkrumah will hope to follow in the footsteps of several Ghanaian players who have used Portugal as a stepping stone to successful careers at the highest level of European football.
