Persijap consider move for Kirivong FC defender Samuel Ofori

Ghanaian centre-back Samuel Ofori is the subject of a rumour linking him with a move from Cambodia’s Kirivong FC to Indonesian club Persijap.

The 27-year-old joined Kirivong from fellow Cambodian Premier League side Khosilot on 31 July 2025, following a free transfer. He has since been part of a Kirivong squad competing in domestic and Asian football.

Ofori has made 27 appearances in the Cambodian Premier League, scoring twice and providing four assists. He has also featured in six AFC Cup matches and five games in the AFC Champions League Two.

The defender previously spent time in Tajikistan, where he played for Ravshan Kulob and Khosilot. During his spell with Ravshan, he won the Tajikistan Super Cup in the 2022-23 season.

Ofori was born in Accra and stands 1.85m tall. He is right-footed and has a listed market value of €150,000.

Persijap compete in Indonesia’s Super League, while Kirivong play in the Cambodian Premier League. The reported interest comes with Ofori still registered as a Kirivong player, and there has been no confirmation of an agreement between the clubs or of personal terms for the defender.
