Asante Kotoko head coach Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum has lauded the club’s new Nigerian star, Wisdom Bassey, after his stellar debut performance in their narrow 1-0 victory against Nsoatreman FC. The match, an outstanding fixture from Week 2 of the Ghana Premier League, saw Kotoko secure all three points, with Bassey playing a crucial role in his first outing for the Porcupine Warriors.
Dr. Ogum was full of praise for the Nigerian forward, whose presence on the field was felt throughout the match. Speaking to the press after the game, he expressed his satisfaction with Bassey’s immediate impact on the team.
“The playing body and the technical team are all happy for Wisdom Bassey because he made an impact,” Ogum said. “His performance was impressive, especially for someone playing his first game in a Kotoko shirt. He showed determination, and his contribution was key to our victory.”
Bassey, who was signed by the club in the transfer window, seamlessly slotted into Kotoko’s attacking setup, linking up well with his teammates and causing problems for the Nsoatreman defense. Although he didn’t score, his overall play and ability to hold up the ball created several chances for the team, contributing to Kotoko’s eventual win.
The match-winning goal came from another source, but Bassey’s performance has left Kotoko fans excited about what he can bring to the team this season. His physical presence and technical ability make him a valuable addition to Dr. Ogum’s squad as they push for success in the Ghana Premier League.
With Bassey already making an impression, Asante Kotoko looks poised to benefit from their new signing’s talents as the season progresses. Fans and management alike will be eager to see more of his contributions as the club aims for another successful campaign under the guidance of Dr. Ogum.
