Samartex FC has pulled off a major coup by signing former Santa Rafel and Berekum Chelsea midfielder Emmanuel Kofi Essien. In an exclusive interview with The Nerve Africa, the highly sought-after player revealed that Samartex’s ambitious football project was the game-changer in his decision.
Kofi Essien, known for his creativity and experience on the pitch, has officially joined the Samartex family, much to the excitement of fans and club officials. According to insiders, the club had been eyeing the midfielder for over two seasons, making this signing a long-awaited success.
The Ghanaian star first made his mark during a stellar stint with Berekum Chelsea, earning recognition as one of the top performers in the league. His displays didn’t go unnoticed, with several clubs vying for his signature. However, Samartex FC’s strategic approach and clear vision ultimately swayed Kofi’s decision.
In his first statement as a Samartex player, Kofi explained his decision:
“Samartex showed interest in me for two seasons. They first contacted me while I was still in Spain with Sant Rafel, and the talks intensified once I returned to Ghana. What convinced me the most was their football project—it aligns perfectly with my goals as a player.”
This signing is a significant boost for Samartex FC as they prepare for the second half of the Ghana Premier League. With Kofi Essien’s proven track record and international experience, the club aims to solidify its position as a top contender in the league.
The club’s head coach, who has previously worked with Kofi Essien, played a pivotal role in securing the deal. His personal recommendation added weight to Samartex’s pitch, making it impossible for the player to resist.
Kofi Essien’s career has spanned several countries, including Spain, where he played for Sant Rafel, and Albania with KF Skënderbeu. His return to Ghana saw him flourish with Berekum Chelsea before taking this next exciting step with Samartex FC.
