OGC Nice’s management praised the player’s determination to quickly adapt to his new environment. Fabrice Bocquet, the general manager, highlighted that his profile and ambition perfectly match the club’s and coach Franck Haise’s expectations. The task is particularly important as the team copes with several injuries in defense.
Coming from a first-division Swedish team, Kojo Peprah Oppong is part of the young African talents making their mark in Europe. His integration at Nice will be closely watched by fans and analysts, who expect him to help strengthen OGC Nice’s defense this season.
