Asante Kotoko is on the verge of securing their first signing for the upcoming season, with negotiations nearly finalized for former Nsotreman FC winger, Walid Fuseini, popularly known as Walid Neymar.
The 25-year-old is expected to bring a new dimension to Kotoko's attacking options.
Sources indicate that both parties met last week to conclude the deal, which is now in its final stages. While Nations FC had shown interest in the dynamic winger, Kotoko has moved swiftly to secure his services ahead of the next campaign.
Walid Neymar had an impressive stint with Nsotreman FC during the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League season. He made 18 appearances, scoring 4 goals and providing 1 assist, accumulating a total of 1,578 minutes on the pitch.
His standout performance came in Matchweek 5, where he scored in Nsotreman's 3-1 victory over Legon Cities FC, helping the team end a four-game winless streak.
Known for his pace, dribbling skills, and ability to take on defenders, Walid Neymar is expected to fit seamlessly into Kotoko's tactical setup. His versatility on the wings and experience in the league make him a valuable addition as the Porcupine Warriors aim to bolster their squad for a strong title challenge in the upcoming season.
An official announcement from Asante Kotoko is anticipated soon, pending the completion of final formalities.
