Asante Kotoko have strengthened their squad ahead of the new Ghana Premier League season with the signing of Congolese centre-back Aristote Tamuzi.
The 27-year-old defender has signed a two-year contract with the Kumasi-based club after completing his medical examination.
Who is Aristote Tamuzi?
Tamuzi joins Kotoko from AS New Soger and is expected to provide additional strength and experience to the club’s defence.
His arrival is part of Kotoko’s preparations for the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League campaign as the club continues to build its squad.
Reports describe the defender as a physically strong centre-back who has experience playing in Eswatini.
What can Kotoko fans expect?
The major expectation will be for Tamuzi to bring stability and competition to Kotoko’s defensive unit.
For a club with the expectations and history of Asante Kotoko, defensive consistency will be particularly important as the new season approaches.
His two-year deal also gives the club an opportunity to develop a longer-term relationship with the defender rather than treating the signing as a short-term solution.
Another move in Kotoko’s rebuild
Kotoko’s decision to bring in a Congolese defender demonstrates the club’s willingness to look beyond Ghana’s domestic market for reinforcements.
The signing will now put the spotlight on Tamuzi to adapt quickly and prove himself in Ghanaian football.
