Ethiopian Forward Abubeker Nassir Linked with Move to Asante Kotoko

Kumasi, Ghana – In an exciting development for football fans, Ethiopian forward Abubeker Nassir is reportedly on the verge of joining Ghana Premier League giants Asante Kotoko. The 24-year-old, recently departed from South African club Mamelodi Sundowns, has been invited for a trial with the Ghanaian side.

Nassir, often hailed as the “Golden Boy” of East African football, is set to undergo a one-week assessment with Asante Kotoko. If he impresses the technical team, he could become a significant addition to the squad. Asante Kotoko, determined to strengthen their roster after a disappointing season without silverware, see Nassir as a promising talent who could help turn their fortunes around.

Nassir’s career has been marked by impressive performances and notable achievements. In Ethiopia’s top league, he scored an astonishing 29 goals in 22 matches during the 2021-22 season. His exceptional play earned him the MVP and Best Young Player awards, highlighting his talent and potential.

His move to Mamelodi Sundowns in South Africa was seen as a step up, but injuries plagued his time there, limiting him to just 18 appearances in which he scored four goals. Despite these setbacks, his skill and determination have not gone unnoticed.

Nassir has also made his mark on the international stage, representing Ethiopia in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. His international experience and proven goal-scoring ability make him an exciting prospect for Asante Kotoko.

Asante Kotoko fans will be keenly watching Nassir’s trial, hopeful that the Ethiopian star can bring his goal-scoring prowess to their team. The trial is expected to start this week, with Nassir eager to showcase his abilities and secure a spot in the squad.

For football enthusiasts following this story, Nassir’s potential move to Asante Kotoko is a development to watch closely. His addition could provide the spark the team needs to reclaim their status as one of Ghana’s premier football clubs.
