Kamal Sowah (born 9 January 2000) is a Ghanaian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Belgian Pro League club Club Brugge and the Ghana national team.
After a successful trial, Sowah signed his first professional contract with Leicester City on 31 January 2018, tying him to the club until the summer of 2022.[2] Later that same day Sowah was loaned to Oud-Heverlee Leuven, a club also owned by King Power, for one and a half seasons to gain more experience.[3] Sowah played his first match on 14 April 2018, coming on as a substitute for Joeri Dequevy in a 2–0 win at Waasland-Beveren.[4] On 23 August 2019, Sowah scored his first two professional goals in a 6–0 victory against RFC Wetteren in the Belgian Cup.[5]
On 27 August 2021, Sowah joined Club Brugge for an undisclosed fee.[6]
On 31 January 2022, Sowah was loaned to AZ Alkmaar in Dutch Eredivisie until the end of the season.[7]
In the 2022–23 season Sowah returned to Club Brugge. On 13 September 2022, he scored his first goal for the club, in a 4–0 away win at FC Porto in the UEFA Champions League.[8] On 4 October, Sowah scored again in the competition, in a 2–0 home win over Atlético Madrid.[9]
On 6 September 2023, Club Brugge sent Sowah on a season-long loan with an option-to-buy to fellow Belgian Pro League side Standard Liège.[10] [11]
