Gilbani O’Neil Ndongani Samba, the talented Congolese defender, is eager to make a significant impact with Asante Kotoko following his recent transfer. Samba, who has signed a two-year contract with the club, is poised to play a crucial role in the upcoming season as Kotoko aims to recover from a disappointing previous term.
In an interview with Ghanasportspage.com, Samba outlined his ambitious goals with the club, saying, “Yes. You know Asante Kotoko is a big club, so you are supposed to do a good job when you are playing for a big club. I’m here to win the league and everything.”
Samba made an immediate impression by being named the Most Valuable Player in his debut match. He played a key role in Kotoko’s 2-1 victory over Accra Hearts of Oak in the Democracy Cup, held at the Accra Sports Stadium. His standout performance highlighted his potential to significantly contribute to the team’s success in the upcoming season.
