Ghanaian forward Kwame Otu played a pivotal role in securing Kotkan Tyovaen Palloilijat’s (KTP) promotion to the Finnish top-flight league after a commanding 5-0 win over Mikkelin Palloilijat.

This promotion marks KTP’s return to Finland’s premier division for the first time since 2015, a remarkable achievement for the club.

Otu, who joined KTP on loan from SJK Akatemia in July 2024, contributed with a crucial assist during the game, underlining his consistent impact on the team.

While the young forward is yet to score, his influence has been significant. With 11 appearances and three assists, Otu’s dribbling, versatility, and tireless work ethic have made him a key player for KTP, earning high praise from head coach James Nyholm.

There is growing interest from KTP in signing Otu permanently, though negotiations with SJK Akatemia may be tough as the parent club values the promising Ghanaian talent.

Otu’s next step, whether he stays with KTP or returns to SJK, will be closely watched as his development in European football continues.
