Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge Known as the "Messi of Ghana", Achimpeng rose to fame at a young age, and his speeding speed was particularly impressive when he played for Buriram United in the Thai Super League at the age of 18 and played with Chinese Super League giant Evergrande in the AFC Champions League. When Achimpeng was with his team at Guangzhou Tianhe Stadium, he scored the winning goal from the penalty spot in the game, helping Buriram United to upset the future AFC Champions League quarter-finalists Guangzhou Evergrande.
Achimpeng, who made a name for himself in Asia, switched to Belgian giants Anderlecht in early 2013. During his four-and-a-half-year spell at Anderlecht, Achimpen played 165 games in all competitions, contributing 22 goals and 21 assists, winning two Ligue A titles and two Belgian Super Cups.
In the summer of 2017, Achimpeng was loaned to Tianjin TEDA from Anderlecht in the Belgian league. In the second half of the league, he played ten times in the Chinese Super League, contributing four goals and averaging an average of 6 per game8 times. At the end of the year, he officially transferred to Tianjin TEDA for 3.5 million euros. In 2018, Achimpen's performance was even more impressive. He made 26 appearances in the Chinese Super League, scoring 17 goals and providing four assists, making him the team's top player.
In 2020, Achimpeng never left the team when the team owed wages, and also took the initiative to serve as the captain. In the key battle of the team's relegation, he scored twice to help the team succeed in relegation. At the end of the year, he gave up part of his salary arrears and transferred to Shenzhen as a free agent.
In three seasons with Shenzhen, Achimpong captained the team in 63 games in all competitions, contributing 18 goals and four assists.
This season, Shenzhen's financial situation is worrying, and players can negotiate with the club to ask for a waiver of wages in exchange for a free departure. As the core of the Shenzhen team, Ghana international Achimpeng will definitely become a sought-after commodity in the transfer market.
