Ghanaian journalist names Amed Toure as Asante Kotoko’s best-ever foreign player

Andy Akosah Boampong, known in the media space as Andy Kerm, a young and dynamic sports journalist at Kessben Media Group, has selected Ahmed Simba Toure, a Burkinabe footballer, as the best foreign player to have ever played for Asante Kotoko.

Kerm made this declaration in response to a question from a Kessben FM listener. He asserted that Toure’s counterparts in this category were not as talented as the Burkinabe forward.

Toure quickly became a fan favorite, particularly among Asante Kotoko supporters, when he joined the club in the 2007/2008 season. He scored fourteen goals in twenty-five appearances. The prolific forward had three stints with Kotoko and won three Ghana Premier League titles.

Toure began his career with Africa Sports National, an Ivorian team, before joining Ghana’s top-tier Glo Premier League club, Asante Kotoko, in 2008. He returned to the Glo Premier League in September 2011 for the 2011-12 season before making his final comeback at Kotoko between 2014 and 2016.

Ahmed Toure won the best player of the Ghana Premier League award in the 2010/11 season while playing for Asante Kotoko.
