Moreirense strengthens attack with Koby Mottoh

Moreirense Futebol Clube officially announced the signing of 19-year-old forward Koby Mottoh from Bournemouth. The player signed a contract valid until 2029, strengthening the club's attack for the 2026/27 season. The team, which finished the last season in 7th place in the Primeira Liga with 43 points (12 wins, 7 draws, and 15 losses), aims to improve its offensive performance, having scored 37 goals and conceded 49 in the last campaign.

Who is Koby Mottoh?

Koby Mottoh, originally from Ghana, joins Moreirense after a stint at Bournemouth, an English Premier League club. The young forward is the second signing for the squad, joining winger Michael DaCosta, also from the same club. The signing reflects Moreirense's strategy of investing in young talents, aligned with the sporting project integrated into the American fund Black Knight Football Club, owner of Bournemouth and holder of 70% of Moreirense's SAD.

Objectives of the reinforcement

Moreirense states that the arrival of Koby Mottoh aims to continue his sporting growth in a demanding and highly competitive context. The club, coached by Vasco Botelho da Costa, begins preparation for the new season on Thursday, aiming to improve its position in the standings and reduce the 45-point gap to league leader FC Porto.

Next steps

With the arrival of Koby Mottoh, Moreirense continues to work on strengthening its squad for the 2026/27 season. The club hopes that the young forward will contribute to increasing the number of goals scored and improving the goal difference, which last season was -12. The team is focused on preparing as best as possible to face the challenges of the new season in the Primeira Liga.
