Ebenezer Assifuah has arrived at K’Ogalo with purpose, flair, and an appetite for impact. The Ghanaian striker’s early performances have already given fans a glimpse of the weapon Gor Mahia have added to their frontline.
Instant Impact
Since joining earlier this month, Assifuah has wasted no time making headlines.
He netted in last Wednesday’s dramatic 3–2 comeback win over Murang’a Seal and set up a goal in Sunday’s commanding 3–0 victory against Mara Sugar FC. Those decisive contributions, often coming off the bench, have underlined his knack for changing games and his readiness for the FKF Premier League’s physical demands.
A Career Moment That Announced Him
Assifuah’s pedigree is well documented. A decade ago, he announced himself on the continental stage when he scored on his European club competition debut for FC Sion against Liverpool at Anfield on 1 October 2015.
That moment remains a highlight in a career that has taken him across leagues and continents, and it explains the calm confidence he now brings to Nairobi.
Settling In and Finding Family
Speaking after the win at Nyayo Stadium, Assifuah thanked the club and supporters for a warm welcome and described his settling-in process as steady and encouraging.
“I thank God, the players, the management, the coaches, and my teammates because I am settling in and getting into the team bit by bit,” he said. The 28-year-old admitted to feeling pressure on arrival but credited the support of teammates and staff—especially fellow countrymen Morrison and George Amonno—for easing the transition.
Focused on the Collective
Assifuah has been careful to temper expectations about instant silverware, insisting his priority is steady progress and team success. “We are taking it game by game. My goal is to help the team perform, adapt to the league, and achieve our objectives,” he explained. That measured approach reflects a professional determined to blend individual quality with collective goals.
Competition and Ambition
Assifuah will battle in-form Felix Oluoch for the coveted number nine role, a rivalry that promises to sharpen Gor Mahia’s attack and give the coach tactical flexibility.
With the club eager to reclaim the title they surrendered to Kenya Police FC last season, Assifuah’s experience, early contributions, and commitment to integration could prove pivotal as K’Ogalo chase a return to the summit.
Assifuah’s arrival has injected fresh energy into Gor Mahia’s title push, and if his opening performances are any guide, the Naibois have a striker ready to write new chapters in the club’s storied history.
