The 22-year-old defender is scheduled to be officially presented in Istanbul on Saturday. The deal was finalized on Friday, August 28, with Fenerbahce reportedly paying over €10m (£8.6m) for the player. Oppong Peprah originally joined Nice from Swedish club IF Norrkoping the previous summer and quickly became a key player for the French side, appearing in 39 matches across all competitions during his first season in France, including one goal. His consistency, physical presence, and defensive composure caught the attention of several clubs, including RC Strasbourg in Ligue 1. Fenerbahce successfully signed Peprah, marking a significant milestone in a career that has seen him move from Sweden to France and now Turkey within just two years. His outstanding performances at the club level have also been reflected in his international career, as he earned a spot in Ghana's squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Peprah was included in the Black Stars' lineup for matches against England and Croatia during their campaign in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.",
