Head of Communications for Asante Kotoko, Lawyer Sarfo Duku has revealed that all the eleven newly-signed players were recommended by CK Akonnor.

The Porcupine Warriors have as many as eleven fresh players in their fold and their media head says all of the players were on the wanted list of their head coach.

“The list of 26 players made up of 11 new signings and 15 old players were all signings by the coach. He and his technical team recommended them.” Duku told Oyerepa FM in an interview.

“Every new player on the list was recommended by the coach because he has been tracking them and has seen them play.”

“He did the selection in consultation with his scouting team.

“Management and Executive Chairman has no hand in it,it’s the coach’s preference”

Kotoko submitted their list for Africa to CAF on Wednesday.
