Kevin Denkey, the Togolese striker known for his prolific scoring record, is set to embark on a new chapter in Major League Soccer (MLS). After an impressive stint with Cercle Brugge in Belgium, where he scored 11 goals and provided six assists in 23 matches this season, Denkey will join FC Cincinnati on December 15.
The 24-year-old forward, who previously played for Nîmes and Béziers in France, caught global attention last season with 28 goals in 39 games, a performance that highlighted his attacking prowess.

Known for his physicality and clinical finishing, Denkey’s arrival is expected to energize the team’s offensive capabilities.
For Togolese football, this marks another milestone, showcasing the talent emerging from the nation on a global stage.
