Kotoko kingpin Fabio Gama tips Kwame Opoku to excel in Algeria

Asante Kotoko star Fabio Gama has tipped former teammate Kwame Opoku to glitter at his new team in Algeria. 

Striker Kwame Opoku moved from the Ghanaian giants Asante Kotoko to join Algerian giants USM Alger after an explosive half-a-season with the Porcupine Warriors.

The former Nkoranza Warriors talisman joined the Algerian outfit in a four-and-a-half-year deal early this month.

Opoku and Fabio Gama formed a good partnership at Kotoko, with the Brazilian serving the striker with one of the assists for his seven goals with the Reds.

“Kwame Opoku is a very good player. He will go far if he does the same he was doing at Asante Kotoko at his new club,” Gama told Pure Sports.

Gama’s tailored measured pass to Opoku for the opener against Liberty Professionals was his first assist in a Kotoko jersey, but the Brazilian reveals it’s something they practised at training.

“The pass I gave to Kwame Opoku resulted in a goal against Liberty Professionals was what we rehearse at training,” said the Brazilian.

The 28-year-old has since been impressive with Asante Kotoko, having scored twice and assisted twice.

He netted against Eleven Wonders and Bechem United.
