Ghanaian defender Kojo Peprah Oppong embraces OGC Nice challenge

Ghanaian international Kojo Peprah Oppong is prepared for the challenge that waits him at OGC Nice following his switch this summer.

Peprah is set to compete in the French Ligue 1 next season after completing a move to Nice in the ongoing summer transfer window.

The talented defender established as a key figure in Norrkoping’s backline last season, with his commanding presence and composed performances earning him 23 appearances in the Allsvenskan.

Having joined Nice, he is expected to play a significant role for the club as gear up for the UEFA Champions League campaign.

However, the fast-rising defender insists he is ready for the challenge ahead of him at Nice.

"I'm going to take a step up at Nice, at a club that's a top player in the French league and will be competing in Europe for the second consecutive season. I feel ready to take on this new challenge." He said.

A move to Ligue 1 not only presents an opportunity to test himself at a higher level but also reinforces the growing reputation of Ghanaian talents in top European leagues.

This transfer would be a major milestone in Oppong’s journey - from the youth ranks of Attram De Visser Soccer Academy in Accra to the bright lights of French football.
