Brandon Thomas-Asante targets Premier League success after Coventry City’s promotion

The 27-year-old forward played a key role in Coventry’s successful campaign, contributing 13 goals and four assists in 32 league appearances as the club booked its return to England’s top flight.

Speaking to ESPN, Thomas-Asante reflected on the journey to the Premier League, describing the achievement as the culmination of years of patience, perseverance and unwavering belief.

“They say that sometimes it takes a long time for things to happen overnight,” he said.

“It’s definitely a case of holding out and holding out, pushing, pushing. I’m grateful to God that the breakthrough has happened — to be in the Premier League now, which is where I’ve always wanted to be, and believed I could be.”

While delighted to have reached one of his career goals, the Ghanaian striker stressed that simply playing in the Premier League is not enough, insisting he is determined to compete at the highest level.

“The intention is not just to be in the Premier League,” he continued. “It’s to be top of the Premier League and to be the best.”

The former West Bromwich Albion attacker believes his recent experiences on the international stage have further strengthened his confidence to perform among the world’s elite.

“But I already have the opportunity to do that now, because I get to be on the pitch at the World Cup. I want to prove that I belong at the top of world football.”

Thomas-Asante also represented Ghana at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where he made two appearances and registered one assist as the Black Stars competed on the global stage.

The striker will now look to carry his impressive Championship form into the Premier League as Coventry City prepare for life among English football’s elite, with Thomas-Asante eager to establish himself as one of the division’s standout performers.
