Player Profile
Style of Play
Dede is a natural fighter on the pitch. A versatile attacker who can play wide or through the middle, he brings intensity, grit, and a strong end product. As an inverted winger, he cuts inside to shoot with his left foot, drives at defenders, and creates danger with quick footwork.
He is powerful in tight spaces, fearless in duels, and smart with his movement. His late runs into the box are a trademark, and his leadership shows in the way he presses, organizes, and sets the tempo. Tactically, he fits systems like 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1, where he can drift inside, link up, or finish attacks.
Dede combines technique, aggression, and experience, making him one of Ghana’s most complete and influential attackers of his generation.
