They know a good young player at Asante Kotoko when he comes along, and the club may just have unearthed a diamond in the shape of 23 year old central midfield, Serge Eric Zeze. Naturally right footed, this 23 year old from Ivory Coast was born on 24th March 2000 and has work his way up through the ranks which started from Asec Mimosas academy and was promoted to the ASEC first team in 2020. Things didn’t go as planned, he left the Ivorian giants the following season.
In 2022, he sealed a deal to one of the biggest teams in the Ghana Premier League, “Asante Kotoko” on a free transfer.
What does Eric Serge Zeze brings to his new team?
The young Ivorian, offers a lot of quality on the ball like his press resistant ability to his low center of gravity at 5ft 7in. Zeze has a short frame which makes it difficult for him to be robbed off the ball.
He is also revered from his technique, control, incredible vision, inventive play, accurate passing abilities. After his arrival in Ghana, he has played very well for his new club. After he showed a super performance to help his team last season, he also scored a brilliant goal against Aduana which helped him won the goal of the season award in the BETPAWA PREMIER LEAGUE 2022/2023 season.
He has been collecting plenty of press clippings since a foreigner has settled so easily in the league and a seemingly inherent ability to find space and gave key passes. Most fans feel he is now the midfielder they have been looking for a long time, and asked for patience as there is more to come from him.
The young midfielder is blessed with plenty vision and creativity.
An ability not only to make the pass but to even see it to witness his team mate’s runs ahead of him and judge just when to initiate releasing the ball, was at- times perfection matched only by the true elite in the modern era: Kelvin De Bruyne, Messi and few others. “He is the motor, the style, the brain of kotoko’s play and one of those emblematic players in the current kotoko team.
He just arrived in a new league, and has few matches under his belt, after a lot of matches, I won’t be surprised to hear his name on the lips of not only kotoko fans but most footballing fans in Ghana, there is no doubt in the fact that he will be the player with most assists after the season. We will see a lot from in the coming years, do not be surprised to see the young sensation command a place in the Ivorian national team. Eric Serge Zeze, a megastar and certainly one for the future.
