Asante Kotoko's newly-captured goalkeeper, Benjamin Twum has described the feeling of joining the two-time African champions overwhelming and added he has always wanted an opportunity like this.
The 19-year-old is joining from Young Apostles FC goalkeeper as their first signing of the second transfer window of the 2024/25 season and agreed to pen down a three and year contract.
Speaking in his first interview, he expressed pleasure and further stated he's always admired Asante Kotoko as a club.
"It’s honestly overwhelming to join Kotoko. This is a club I’ve admired for as long as I can remember, and the opportunity to be part of it is something I couldn’t have imagined at this stage of my career,” he said.
“I’m here to learn, grow, and give my all whenever I’m called upon. The support and belief from everyone I’ve met so far at the club already mean so much to me.”
Twum, for the past years has gained recognition for his impressive performances in the Ghana Premier League this season.
The lanky shot-stopper played a very pivotal role last season to help Young Apostles FC secure their first ever topflight promotion especially in the playoffs against Techiman Heroes where his stellar display during the penalty shootouts conjured the magic.
Benjamin Twum was an integral member of the Black Satellites squad that finished as runners up in the recently-ended WAFU Zone B U-20 Championship where they painfully lost to Nigeria in the final.
