Every player has his peek year and in the 2000s, I was better than any striker in Ghana. Asamoah Gyan of Liberty Professional and Shaibu Yacubu of Ash Gold will afirm this. Taking nothing from what Gyan has achieved in football, I was better in Ghana than him. He added.

He also won two Ghana Premier League titles with Kumasi Asante Kotoko. Poku also won SWAG Cup and Ghana League Cup Association Cup with Kotoko.
