Published on: 29 August 2024

Asante Kotoko new signing Wisdom Fernando Bassey says he has a similar playing style to that of Kylian Mbappe.

The 22-year-old was unveiled as a new Kotoko on Wednesday, penning a three-year deal that will keep him at the club until 2027.

Bassey has been handed with the number 7 jersey and is expected to play a huge role for the Ghanaian giants.

Speaking to the clubs media, Bassey asserted he plays like the France and Real Madrid star.

“I have pace and know how to score goals. I also know how to make the fans happy. My style of play is like Kylian Mbappe” he said.

Bassey has seven goals and eight assists in 76 appearances in the Nigerian Professional Football League across seven seasons, playing for Akwa and Sporting.

He won the Nigeria Premier Football League title in the 2020-21 season with Akwa, with his impressive performances playing a crucial role in the triumph.

Fernando becomes the fifth foreign player to sign for the Ghanaian giants this transfer window after Sudanese duo Esmat Abdulhamid, AbdoelRahman Yoouef Yagoub, Congolese defender Samba O’Neil and Guinean goalkeeper Mohamed Camara.
