Asante Kotoko makes a bold move by signing Nigerian midfielder Fernando Wisdom Bassey on a free transfer
Ghana Premier League giants Asante Kotoko have made a significant move in the transfer market by securing the services of Nigerian midfielder Fernando Wisdom Bassey on a free transfer. The 22-year-old has signed a three-year deal that will see him at the club until 2027.
Bassey, known for his versatility in midfield, is expected to bolster the squad ahead of the upcoming season. He will be taking over the number seven shirt, previously worn by Bernard Somuah who has left the club.
The young midfielder impressed during his six-year spell at Akwa United, playing a vital role in their 2021 league-winning campaign. His attacking prowess and agile style of play were key factors in the team’s success that season. Bassey also gained valuable experience during his time at Sporting Lagos, which has helped shape him into the player he is today.
Having made a total of seventy-six appearances throughout his career, Bassey arrives at Asante Kotoko with a wealth of experience and a hunger to make an impact. His arrival is expected to fill the void left by several departures at the end of the previous season, providing the team with a new dynamic in midfield.
The signing of Fernando Wisdom Bassey is a statement of intent from Asante Kotoko as they look to build a competitive squad capable of challenging for honours in the upcoming campaign. It will be exciting to see how the Nigerian midfielder adapts to his new surroundings and contributes to the team’s success on the pitch.
