Oxborn Kofi Tanab Phiona Joins Berekum Chelsea Fc : A Rising Star Ready to Shine in the Ghana Premier League
Former Elmina Sharks FC right centre-back, Oxborn Kofi Tanab Phiona, has made a significant move to Berekum Chelsea Fc, a Ghana Premier League side known for its competitive edge and solid performances. Tanab, who often operated from the left side of the defense despite his natural position on the right, was a standout player in last season’s Access Bank Division One League in Zone 2. His impressive displays have now earned him a place in the top tier of Ghanaian football.
During his tenure with Elmina Sharks FC, Tanab was nothing short of instrumental. He featured in 15 crucial games, where his defensive prowess and leadership on the field did not go unnoticed. His efforts were rewarded with two Man of the Match awards, a testament to his consistency and ability to dominate in defense. Tanab's versatility, and ability to comfortably switch from the right to the left side of the backline, made him a formidable opponent for any attacking player.
Despite being the fans' favorite at Elmina Sharks FC, Tanab faced a pivotal decision at the close of the season. With his former club remaining in Division One, the opportunity to step up to the Ghana Premier League with Berekum Chelsea Fc was one he could not pass up. This move marks the next chapter in Tanab's career, where he will look to continue his explicit performance and establish himself as one of the league's top defenders.
Berekum Chelsea’s acquisition of Tanab is nothing short of a coup. The club has secured one of the best defenders from Zone 2, a player known for his tenacity, reading of the game, and ability to neutralize the most potent attacks. His addition to the squad not only bolsters their defensive options but also brings a level of experience and maturity that could be crucial as they aim to challenge for honors in the upcoming season.
For Tanab, the Ghana Premier League presents a new stage, and he is poised to make an impact. His journey from the Division One League to the Premier League is a story of determination and growth, and fans across the country should keep an eye on this rising star. Berekum Chelsea has made a perfect addition to their squad, and the league must now prepare for the defensive masterclass that Oxborn Kofi Tanab is set to deliver.
As the new season approaches, the excitement builds. The Ghana Premier League is about to witness the rise of a defender who has all the attributes to become one of the best in the country. Oxborn Kofi Tanab Phiona is ready to take on the challenge, and Berekum Chelsea fans will be eagerly anticipating his debut. The little chap with a big heart and immense talent is here, and he is ready to shine.
