APR FC in Talks to Sign Ghana Premier League Top Scorer
Rwanda Premier League champions APR FC are making bold moves in the transfer market. The club is in advanced discussions with Ghanaian side Berekum Chelsea to acquire Stephen Amankona, the current Ghana Premier League Golden Boot winner.
Amankona, a dynamic and versatile forward, scored an impressive 15 goals in the 2024/25 season, making it the third consecutive year he has reached double-digit goals. His consistency and goal-scoring ability have caught the attention of several clubs across Africa.
According to sources close to the player, APR FC has already made initial contact with Berekum Chelsea and is optimistic about finalizing the transfer.
“APR believe Stephen can boost their attacking strength, especially for upcoming continental competitions,” said a source familiar with the negotiations.
Who is Stephen Amankona?
At 24 years old, Amankona is already a regular in Ghana’s Black Galaxies, the national team composed of home-based players. While he typically plays as a winger, he is equally effective as a central striker or playmaker, making him a perfect fit for APR’s attacking system.
Mukura Victory Sports Closing in on Sadjat Niyonkuru
Meanwhile, Mukura Victory Sports are close to sealing a deal with Sadjat Niyonkuru, a talented midfielder from Etincelles FC. Talks are in the final stages for a two-year contract, and the deal is expected to be completed within the coming week, barring any late complications.
Niyonkuru’s creativity and attacking vision make him a strong addition to Mukura’s midfield ahead of the new season.
Mercy Ikenna in Talks for AS Muhanga Return
In other transfer news, Nigerian right-back Mercy Ikenna is considering a return to his former club AS Muhanga, following the expiration of his contract at Gorilla FC. Ikenna played a key role at Gorilla for four seasons and was part of the AS Muhanga squad that was relegated in the 2020/21 season.
His potential return could help stabilize Muhanga’s defense as they aim for a comeback in top-flight football.
Why These Transfers Matter
These transfer moves show a clear sign of ambition among Rwanda Premier League clubs to strengthen their squads for both domestic and continental competitions. With APR FC chasing a proven goal-scorer and Mukura adding creativity in midfield, fans can expect a highly competitive season ahead.
