Kojo Peprah Oppong, a 21-year-old Ghanaian currently under contract with Norrköping until December 2026, has been shortlisted by OGC Nice's recruitment team as they look for a central defender. This move follows a defensive crisis at Nice, with three of their central defenders, Moïse Bombito, Youssouf Ndayishimiye, and Mohamed Abdelmonem, all out of action due to injuries. Bombito is reportedly suffering from a micro-fissure in his tibia, while Ndayishimiye and Abdelmonem are said to be recovering from knee injuries. Consequently, Nice's coach, Franck Haise, is facing pressure to quickly secure a suitable replacement, especially with crucial fixtures, such as the third qualifying round of the Champions League, approaching. Oppong, who is recognized for being a right-footed player, is considered a potential solution to this pressing need for a central defender prepared for top-level competition.
