Biography
Emile Acquah signed for Dundee from English club Barrow in the summer of 2025 on a three-year-deal, becoming Steven Pressley's first signing as Dundee manager.
The big striker found it difficult to force himself into the starting eleven with only five starts from seventeen appearances which also only brought one goal to his name.
It would be no surprise to see Acquah loaned out in the January window as he travelled back down to England to see out the reminder of the 25/26 season with Harrogate Town.
Upon coming back to Dundee for the start of the 26/27 season, Acquah was sold to Notts County for an undisclosed fee after only scoring one goal in seventeen apperances.
