Asante Kotoko talisman Fabio Gama has tipped former teammate Kwame Opoku to excel in Algeria.

Kwame Opoku left Asante Kotoko to join Algerian giants USM Algers after an explosive half-a-season with the Porcupine Warriors.

Opoku and Fabio Gama formed a good partnership at Kotoko, with the Brazilian serving the striker with one of the assists for his eight goals with the Reds.

"Kwame Opoku is a very good player. He will go far if he does the same he was doing at Asante Kotoko at his new club," Gama told Pure Sports.

Gama's tailored measured pass to Opoku for the opener against Liberty Professionals was his first assist in a Kotoko jersey, but the Brazilian reveals it's something they practiced at training.

"The pass I gave to Kwame Opoku resulted in a goal against Liberty Professionals was what we rehearse at training," said the Brazilian.

The 28-year-old has since been enjoying his time with Asante Kotoko, having scored twice and created two assists this season.
