Ethiopian forward Abubeker Nassir is reportedly poised for a trial with Ghana Premier League side Asante Kotoko.

The 24-year-old recently departed South African club Mamelodi Sundowns and has been invited by Kotoko for assessment.

Asante Kotoko, aiming to strengthen their squad after a disappointing, trophy-less season, view Nassir as a promising addition.

He will undergo a one-week trial, with the potential to join the squad if he impresses the technical team.

Nassir, known as the “Golden Boy” of East African football, left Sundowns after injuries limited him to 18 appearances, during which he scored four goals.

He previously excelled in Ethiopia’s top league, scoring 29 goals in 22 matches and winning the MVP and Best Young Player awards for the 2021-22 season.

Nassir also represented Ethiopia in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. His trial with Asante Kotoko is expected to commence this week.
