Legon Cities FC captain Fatau Dauda believes his team can become genuine title contenders next season if they recruit wisely in the ongoing transfer window.

The experienced goalkeeper reckons the Royals will need to bolster their squad with at least 5 new signings to be able to challenge for the Ghana Premier League trophy.

“The hype around Legon Cities is not just lip service. Measures have been put in place to make sure the players are comfortable. The players are comfortable with their accommodation, feeding, salaries and even in terms of our health, we use one of the best hospitals in Ghana,” he told Angel FM.

“If Legon Cities can beef up the squad with 5 more players, the club can compete for the GPL trophy,” he added.

To that end, the former Black Stars number 1 urged the club’s management to sign former Hearts of Oak hitman Joseph Esso.

The striker is currently unattached following the expiration of his contract with the Phobians.

“Joseph Esso is a good player. If management of Legon Cities want him, I think they can go for him to beef up the squad,” he said.
