Key strength: Aerial dominance
Defensive anchor
At just 21 years old, Ghanaian centre-back Kojo Peprah Oppong has become an unlikely pillar of stability for an OGC Nice side languishing in 14th place. While Les Aiglons endure a torrid run of form, Oppong has been ever-present, racking up 2,232 minutes across 28 appearances this season - a remarkable feat for a young defender in a struggling team. Operating as a defensive anchor with aerial dominance his calling card, Oppong has demonstrated remarkable discipline with just one yellow card to his name. His solitary goal hints at growing confidence in the opposition box. With a €3 million market valuation already attached to his name and defensive stats (55) and physicality (55) exceeding his overall rating, Oppong represents both Nice's present resilience and their future foundation. In a squad featuring higher-profile talents like Mohamed-Ali Cho and Jérémie Boga, it's the young Ghanaian who has proven most reliable when the Mediterranean winds have turned stormy.
