Isaac Boakye (born 26 November 1981 in Kumasi) is a professional footballer who plays as striker for Asante Kotoko. ==Professional career== The powerful striker started his career at Ghapoha Readers, a Club based in the Harbor City of Tema in Ghana. He later transferred to Goldfields Obuasi. In 2001, he went on trials at Swedish Club Norrköping. After the trials he joined African Club Asante Kotoko, then went on trials at Turkish Club Ankaragücü. With many of his compatriots scattered throughout Europe's top leagues and clubs, the then 22-year-old elected to sign for unfashionable Arminia Bielefeld in the 2. Bundesliga and kept his eyes squarely focused on Ghana's big prize – the 2006 FIFA World Cup. In the meantime, his environs suited him just fine, particularly as his team sat atop the second division table and could well be in the top flight next season. "My first year here in Germany has been nice," Boakye told in April 2004. “I’m very happy to start my career here, and I hope to get the chance to play in the Bundesliga soon. Bielefeld is doing well now, and the football is very competitive. That's good for me.” Competitive perhaps but the bustling Kumasi native has been having little trouble finding the net in Germany. The 1.80 m tall forward has managed to score 14 times in his 26 clubs matches despite being the primary focus of opposition defences. His record for his country is slightly off that pace – five goals in his first 20 caps.〔 In March 2005, Boakye extended his contract with German side Arminia Bielefeld until June 2008. Persistent knee injuries limited Boakye to just four appearances that season but that did not prevent the club from offering him a new deal. Boakye scored 10 goals in his two seasons with Arminia Bielefeld in the Bundesliga. In the summer of 2006, Isaac Boakye joined the German first division club Wolfsburg. The striker signed a three-year contract. In January 2008 he was loaned to 1. FSV Mainz 05. He returned at the end of the season to Wolfsburg, but only for a short time, and transferred in August 2008 to then 2. Bundesliga club 1. FC Nürnberg. After two and a half years with Nürnberg, the contract was cancelled in December 2010. On 12 September 2013, Boakye signed for Asante Kotoko. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Isaac Boakye」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
