Nathaniel Asamoah,
Aswan SC Owusu did not return to Berekum Chelsea's pre-season training after his successful season and was not included in the squad for the pre-season
tournament, the GHALCA 6 . Due his form and exploits in the previous season, it placed him a position to be signed by a bigger club. Clubs like
TP Mazembe, Ashanti Gold,
Asante Kotoko as well as clubs in South Africa and Sweden made enquiries and showed an interest in signing him, but Owusu signed instead a four-year contract on 1 February 2016 with Egyptian club
Aswan SC.
Ashanti Golds After a less successful a year in Egypt, Owusu returned to Ghana when his contract with Aswan was terminated. In 2016, he signed a three-year contract for
Ashanti Gold who won the league the previous year in 2015.
