Asante Kotoko to play in CAF Champions League
Etouga sets sights on Ishmael Addo's record
Asante Kotoko board chairman, Dr Kwame Kyei has insisted that the club will not cash in on top striker, Franck Mbella Etouga at the end of the season.
The Porcupines will represent Ghana in the 2022/2023 CAF Champions League after winning the Ghana Premier League.
In an interview with Akoma FM, the business mogul said adding more quality to the team as they prepare for the Champion League is the way to go.
“As we participate in Africa, we can't go without Mbella. We rather need more quality additions, so how can we sell our best player?" he said.
“We can't let him go, we will do all we can to keep him,” he added.
Meanwhile, Etouga's agent, Amadou Fontem Tigana, has held a successful meeting with Kotoko's Chief Executive Officer, Nana Yaw Amponsah to discuss a potential transfer for his client.
The agent is also said to have a meeting with Udinese Sporting director, Pierpaolo Marino in Nigeria on Friday, June 17, 2022, over the sale of Mbella.
The 21-year-old joined Kotoko from Cameroonian topflight side, AS Fortuna de Mfou before the start of the current campaign.
The Asante Kotoko striker has been in blistering form since joining the club and currently leads the goal king race with 21 goals.
