Born in Lambeth, London, to Ghanaian parents, Opoku grew up wanting to be a winger before Fulham's academy converted the towering teenager into a centre-back. After loans and a move to Portugal's Arouca, he found a home at Istanbul Basaksehir, signing permanently in 2024. At 1.97m he is an aerial presence, and the English-born defender debuted for Ghana in 2023.
- Captained Fulham's U16s to the 2014 Premier League International Cup, beating Chelsea in the final
- At 1.97m he is the tallest player in Ghana's squad
