Poku transfer marks a significant step for Canadian league, Forge FC and its talent pipeline
August 23 – Canadian Premier League club Forge FC, based in Hamilton, has set a transfer league record with the move of local star Kwasi Poku to RWD Molenbeek in Belgium.
The previous transfer record for the 5-year-old CPL was $500,000 set last year for the transfer of Cavalry FC forward Goteh Ntignee to French Ligue 2 side FC Annecy.
Poku’s transfer fee is reckoned to be about $600,000. If Poku keeps developing and makes a big money move into one of Europe’s Big 5 leagues then Forge will pick up a further solidarity fee.
