Ag. Communications Manager of Asante Kotoko, David Obeng Nyarko has disclosed winning the Ghana Premier League is the sole aim of the playing body.

The Porcupine Warriors lost the top spot in the Ghana Premier League following their stalemate on matchday 26 against WAFA.

The result meant archrivals, Hearts of Oak leapfrog the reds to go top while the Fabulous boys are second despite both sides being tied on the same points.

Despite failing to maintain their lead at the league log, Obeng Nyarko in an interview said the slip-up was expected but they are in a good position to emerge as champions.

“We did not start the season well but we have been able to claim the situation down,” he told Kumasi-based Pure FM.

“We have been playing our home matches away but in all, we have been able to do well. We were leading the league log with points but we are on the same points with Hearts of Oak and it was expected.

“We are not competing with Hearts of Oak for the league title but rather Medeama, Great Olympics and WAFA are all in position to win the Premier League title.

“We are Kotoko and we are motivated to win the title. Sometimes things will not go as expected but we know our history and I am confident we will emerge as champions at the end of the season,” he added.

Asante Kotoko will be hosted by Aduana Stars in the matchday 27 games at the Nana Agyemang Badu Park.
