Strasbourg explore move for Ghana defender Kojo Oppong Peprah

Ghana international Kojo Oppong has emerged as a transfer target for French Ligue 1 outfit RC Strasbourg as the summer transfer window heats up, GHANAsoccernet.com can exclusively report.

The 22-year-old, who currently plays for OGC Nice, has attracted attention following an impressive debut campaign in the French top flight.

Strasbourg are understood to have made enquiries about the availability of the Ghanaian defender as they look to strengthen their backline and add more depth to the squad before the start of the upcoming football season.

The Alsatian club had initially explored a move for Senegal international Ibrahima Ba, but the deal collapsed after the player failed his medical examination. However, Strasbourg have now turned their attention towards Oppong Peprah as they continue their search for defensive options.

Oppong Peprah’s performances in Ligue 1 have enhanced his reputation, with his composure, defensive ability and tactical awareness making him an attractive option for clubs looking to invest in emerging talents.

Strasbourg’s need for defensive reinforcement has also been influenced by uncertainty surrounding the future of Ismaël Doukouré

A move to Strasbourg would represent another important step in Oppong Peprah’s rapidly developing career. After making his mark with Nice, a transfer to another Ligue 1 side could provide him with further opportunities to gain regular top-flight experience and continue his progression in French football.

Although negotiations are not yet at an advanced stage, Strasbourg’s interest underlines the growing recognition of Oppong Peprah’s performances and his potential to become one of Ghana’s promising defensive talents in Europe.

The defender was part of the Ghana squad that featured at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America, where the Black Stars reached the Round of 32 and progressed beyond the group stage for the first time since their memorable campaign at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

His international exposure, combined with his development in Ligue 1, has further increased his profile and could make him one of the Ghanaian players to watch during the current transfer window.

For now, Strasbourg are assessing their options, but their enquiry represents a strong indication of the growing interest in Oppong Peprah as he continues to establish himself on the European stage.
