William Owusu (Footballer)

William Owusu Acheampong is a Ghanaian footballer born on September 13, 1989. He currently plays as a striker for Sint-Eloois-Winkel.

Owusu began his football career in his native country with Real Tamale United before being noticed by RSC Anderlecht, who brought him to Belgium in 2006. However, due to an administrative issue, he returned to Ghana and was subsequently spotted by Sporting Portugal, a Portuguese club. In 2008, Owusu joined the core of Sporting Portugal but struggled to break into the first team due to intense competition.

As a result, he spent time with Team B before being loaned out to Real Sport Clube in the second Portuguese division for half a season. Upon the expiration of his contract, Sporting Portugal lent him again, this time until the end of the season at Gil Vicente FC also in the second division. During his time at Sporting Portugal, Owusu was loaned out twice more: first to Cercle Bruges and then to KVC Westerlo.

At Cercle Bruges, he played a crucial role under coach Bob Peeters, helping the team secure victories in both domestic competitions and the Europa League against Anorthosis Famagusta. In that match, Owusu scored a goal despite his team's 3-1 defeat. His performances at Bruges earned him another loan from Sporting Portugal to KVC Westerlo for two years.

Owusu's next move was to Royal Antwerp, where he scored 13 goals in the Belgian second division during the 2014-2015 season. The following year, he was loaned out again, this time to KSV Rollers for an unspecified period.
