Frank Acheampong delivered a goalscoring masterclass in the 2024/25 Chinese Super League, finishing the campaign as Henan FC’s undisputed attacking star.
The Ghanaian forward netted 14 goals in 30 matches, becoming the first African player ever to lead Henan’s scoring charts in a single CSL season.
His goals weren’t empty numbers as they were match-defining moments that kept Henan competitive in a tough campaign.
His form carried into the Chinese FA Cup, where he played a pivotal role in Henan’s dramatic return to the competition after 30 years.
Acheampong’s influence powered the club all the way to a historic final, a run that became one of the most compelling stories of the season, even though they eventually fell 3–0 to Beijing Guoan.
Henan wrapped up the league season 10th with 37 points, a respectable finish shaped heavily by Acheampong’s goals.
Beyond the numbers, his leadership and professionalism made him one of the standout African performers in the Chinese game.
