Ghanaian football talent Solomon Agyapong has landed in Portugal for a trial with Silves Football Club, marking a pivotal moment in his burgeoning career. Agyapong, who has been making waves in Ghanaian football, is set to showcase his skills with the Portuguese lower-tier club as he seeks to make a significant leap into European football.

Agyapong, currently playing for Live Now Football Club in Ghana’s Division Two League, has earned this opportunity following a stellar season. The promising winger dazzled last year by netting 12 goals in 23 appearances across all competitions, which caught the eye of Silves FC scouts.

The trial in Portugal is a considerable step forward for Agyapong, with the potential to open doors to a future in European football. His journey to Portugal was made possible by the collaboration between Live Now Academy in Ghana and International Sports Revolutions (ISR) in the Netherlands, who are covering the costs associated with the trial.

Before heading to Portugal, Agyapong and his team spent time in the Netherlands, where he trained for two days with Zwolsche Athletische Club (ZAC) under the ISR program. This brief stint was part of his preparation for the trial, aiming to enhance his performance and adaptability for the Portuguese side.

Born in Koforidua, Eastern Region, Agyapong's move to Portugal is closely watched by Silves FC’s coaching staff, who are keen to evaluate his suitability and potential fit within their development framework. The club is hopeful that Agyapong’s skills will align with their vision, potentially leading to a contract offer if he impresses during the trial period.
