Prosper Narteh Ogum, the head coach of Asante Kotoko, has given new recruit Wisdom Fernando Bassey high marks for his performance in the team's 1-0 Ghana Premier League victory over Nsoatreman FC.
The Nigerian forward, who recently joined the Porcupine Warriors by trade, entered the game as a second-half substitution and had a significant impact on Wednesday's fantastic game.
His performance was vital as Kotoko advanced to second position in the standings with a close win.
After the game, Coach Ogum gave a Kotoko TV interview where he acknowledged his happiness with Bassey's debut performance.
"It seems beneficial to him. It was his first game, and he had a chance to score when he entered. Everyone in the club, including the technical staff and players in the locker room, was pleased for him. We're all glad he entered and had an influence. "All we can hope for is that he maintains this momentum when he gets the chance to play again," Ogum stated.
Wisdom Bassey is keen to get more playing time in the next games after making such a strong start. The Accra Lions present Kotoko with their next test as the Porcupine Warriors want to continue their perfect start to the season.
