Copenhagen forward, Akinkunmi Amoo, is poised to join Cyprus’ topflight club, Omonia Nicosia, on a permanent deal after a verbal agreement by both clubs was reached, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
The 21-year-old has been out of action for over a year, with his last appearance for Copenhagen coming against Lyngby August 2022.
Amoo came on for Pep Biel in the 68th minute of the game, which ended 3-0 in favour of Copenhagen, before a ruptured knee ligament injury in training ruled him out of action for nine months.
The Super Eagles invitee hasn’t enjoyed his time with the Lions, having suffered multiple injuries that have reduced his chances of getting minutes.
He joined FC Copenhagen from Hammarby in the 2022 winter transfer window.
Amoo has one goal contribution (a goal against Nordsjaelland in March 2022) in four appearances for the Danish giants.
The Sidos FC product made the match-day squad on four occasions, featuring twice and accumulating 38 minutes of playtime so far for Copenhagen.
In June, Amoo was in the news over an alleged sexual assault case and appeared in a Copenhagen court for criminal charges, which were claimed by Danish authorities in April, July and August 2022.
