Raków Częstochowa's offensive player Michael Ameyaw is a transfer target for Korona Kielce. The 25-year-old was left out of the squad for the recent league match against Jagiellonia Białystok due to ongoing transfer talks.
Raków Częstochowa is in a difficult period, sitting bottom of the PKO BP Ekstraklasa table in 18th place with zero points from four consecutive losses. The team has scored only five goals while conceding eleven, resulting in a -6 goal difference. It is against this backdrop that speculation about Ameyaw's departure has emerged.
Who is Michael Ameyaw?
Michael Ameyaw joined Raków Częstochowa in September 2024 and has since made 127 appearances in the Ekstraklasa for the club. Last season, he played 28 league matches, scoring three goals and providing five assists. He added 13 appearances in European competitions and five in the Polish Cup, where Raków reached the final. In the current campaign, he has three league appearances and six matches in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers, scoring a goal against Valletta FC. The situation was summarized, stating: "Michael Ameyaw, a winger who until recently regularly appeared in the Medalists' lineup, is close to changing club colors."
What are Korona Kielce's plans?
Korona Kielce sees Ameyaw as a reinforcement for their attack and is considering signing him as a winger. At Raków, the player primarily featured as a full-back, but his offensive statistics show potential in attack. Transfermarkt values him at 1.5 million euros. Before moving to Częstochowa, Ameyaw represented Piasta Gliwice and Widzew Łódź. He also has two caps for the Poland national team, earned in October 2024 in the Nations League against Portugal and Croatia.

What is the situation at Raków Częstochowa?
The club from Częstochowa is undergoing a serious sporting crisis. After four consecutive league defeats and elimination from the Europa Conference League qualifiers, the board decided to change the head coach. Dawid Szulczek has taken over. Raków currently trails league leaders Legia Warszawa by a massive margin. The team's next test will be an away match against that very opponent. The detailed match schedule is available in our fixtures calendar.
Additionally, Erick Otieno is not available for selection, as he is currently sidelined. The status of all injuries in the team is updated regularly in the injuries section. A potential transfer of Ameyaw would be another significant change for a team seeking to reverse its poor form. His possible departure would open up a spot in the lineup for other players but would also deprive the squad of an experienced player with international pedigree. Raków Częstochowa faces Legia Warszawa on Saturday.
