Ghana Premier League powerhouse Asante Kotoko have announced the signing of Walid ‘Neymar’ Fuseini to augment their squad for the 2025–26 season's campaign.
The 25-year-old midfielder, who inked a three-year contract with the Kumasi-based outfit after passing his medical, brings versatility and quality to the Karim Zito's side, with the ability to play centrally, in an advanced attacking role, or from the right wing.
The club's official statement reads: “Asante Kotoko is delighted to announce the signing of Walid Neymar Fuseini on a three-year deal, following the successful completion of his medical.”
Fuseini is widely known in the local scene and has already featured 81 times in the Ghana Premier League and featured in four CAF Confederation Cup games, showing his stature at both domestic and continental levels.
He began his professional career at Bolga All Stars where he gained valuable experience and built a reputation as a dynamic and technically gifted midfielder before joining defunct Premier League club Nsoatreman FC.
Speaking to Kotoko Media, Fuseini shared his ambitions: “This is the moment I’ve been waiting for. Playing for a club of Kotoko’s stature is a dream, and I believe my qualities can have a real impact here. I’m eager to contribute immediately, especially with the return to Africa. The expectations are high, but I do well under pressure.”
“I want to prove that I belong at the very top, and there’s no better place to do that than at Asante Kotoko if you want to play in Ghana.” he added.
He is expected to join his teammates to begin the new chapter when Asante Kotoko resumes pre-season training on Wednesday, August 27, 2025.
Asante Kotoko will play Bibiani Goldstars on Sunday, August 31, 2025 in the Champion of Champions showdown at Dun's Park in Bibiani.
