Kumasi Asante Kotoko has officially announced the signing of Fernando Wisdom Bassey on a free transfer.
The versatile midfielder, who is 22 years old, has signed a three-year deal that will keep him at the club until 2027.
After the departure of Bernard Somuah, Bassey will now wear the number seven (7) jersey.
“I am well aware of the stature of Asante Kotoko and its significance to the supporters. The club has a rich history on the continent, and representing them is a great honor, especially given the shared cultural ties between Ghana and Nigeria”.
“Asante Kotoko is based in Kumasi, a city known for its deep passion for football. The enthusiasm here is unmatched, particularly when Kotoko or the Black Stars play, as seen during the World Cup play-off against Nigeria. I’m thrilled that everything has been finalized, and I look forward to helping my new teammates achieve our goals for the season.”
Bassey spent six seasons in Nigeria with Akwa United, where his impressive attacking bravery helped the team win the league in 2021.
With seventy-six appearances between Akwa United and Sporting Lagos, the agile midfielder brings a wealth of experience to the table.
Bassey is known to be an incredible dribbler when on the ball, and has always given defenders a tough time handling him.
“We are very excited to welcome Fernando to the club. The negotiations proceeded smoothly, and he joins us as an exciting prospect. We are confident that with him, we can achieve our objectives for the season,” stated IMC Chair Nana Apinkra Akwasi Awua during Bassey’s unveiling.
Kumasi Asante Kotoko is one of the biggest clubs in Africa with several continental trophies to their credit.
