The Canadian Premier League’s most recent high-profile export could soon be suiting up for his country, as Kwasi Poku appears to have caught the attention of Canadian men’s national team coach Jesse Marsch.

Marsch recently spoke to Sportsnet.ca’s John Molinaro, and he discussed several of the Canadian players who made major transfers this summer, including Moïse Bombito, Derek Cornelius and Ismaël Koné.

The Canada gaffer also mentioned Poku, who recently moved from Forge FC to RWD Molenbeek of Belgium’s Challenger Pro League for a CPL-record transfer fee. The 21-year-old made his debut for his new club, playing 84 minutes in a 2-1 win.

“I really like [Poku]. I think he’s athletic, and for a guy who’s just switched to being a striker from a fullback, he has a really clever way of understanding how to move in and around in the box and get open to create chances. I think he’s going to get a [national team] shot soon,” Marsch told Sportsnet.

Poku scored 10 goals in 14 matches after converting to the centre-forward position shortly after the start of the 2024 campaign with Forge, putting him on the radar of multiple clubs as well as, evidently, the national team program.
