I will surge forward to look for more goals, says Daniel Amartey after scoring on Besiktas debut

Published on: 09 August 2023

Ghana international, Daniel Amartey is still savouring over his debut goal for his new club, Besiktas.

The experienced defender signed for the Turkish Super Lig club in July on a free transfer after ending his stay in England where he played for Leicester City.

Last week Wednesday, Daniel Amartey had a chance to play his first match for Leicester City when the team played against KF Tirana in the Europa Conference League.

Having been introduced into the game in the second half, the Black Stars centre-back scored with a flying header to help Besiktas secure a 2-0 win.

Speaking on his goal, the defender said he is convinced he will have more luck at scoring goals at his new club than he did at Leicester.

According to him, he will try his best to surge forward more to score goals for Besiktas.

“I played 7 years in Leicester, played 145 matches, I could only score 3 goals. I had a goal celebration in my first match here. Beşiktaş has been lucky for me. I will continue to search for goals in set pieces. I hope I continue to score goals like this,” he said.

Daniel Amartey also pledges to work hard to help his new club to win trophies in the 2023/24 football season.
