Kasimpasa defender Nicholas Opoku is emerging as one of the Turkish Super Lig’s most reliable ball distributors this season, completing 514 of 571 passes with an impressive 90% accuracy rate. His consistency in possession has made him a central figure in Kasimpasa’s build-up play across all 13 league matches.
Opoku averages 41 accurate passes and 61 touches per game, indicating his growing responsibility as Kasimpasa’s main outlet from the back. His ability to remain composed under pressure has helped the club maintain structure even against high-pressing opponents.
The Ghanaian centre-back is not only accurate in short distribution but also progressive in his passing decisions. He completes 3 accurate long balls per match, frequently breaking opposition lines or switching play into attacking spaces. In addition, his 2.2 accurate chip passes per game give Kasimpasa another option for bypassing compact midfields and relieving defensive pressure.
These passing abilities have strengthened Kasimpasa’s transitions from defence to attack, allowing the team to move forward more efficiently in difficult fixtures. Opoku’s calm ball circulation has also contributed to Kasimpasa’s ability to retain possession in challenging phases of play.
His performances this season highlight a modern defensive profile—one that combines reliability at the back with strong technical contribution in possession. As Kasimpasa continues its campaign, Opoku’s passing remains one of the team’s most crucial yet underrated assets.
