Ghana Under-20 winger Frank Sarfo Gyamfi says he chose Kotoko over Ashantigold for footballing reasons.
Gyamfi opted to join the Porcupine Warriors on-loan from South African side Maritzburg United at the eleventh hour.
He was close to joining Ashantigold after agreeing personal terms but swerved the Obuasi-based club to join their regional rivals in a surprise move.
But the ex-All Stars winger has revealed he chose the League champions over the miners due to matters on the pitch.
ââ¬ÅI know I said earlier I was close to joining Ashantigold but choosing Kotoko is the wisest decision,â⬠Gyamfi said.
ââ¬ÅI chose the club because I believe they will offer me the best platform to return to the club.
ââ¬ÅI cannot speak about what will happen tomorrow. But we have to finish with the loan spell before I decide my long-term future.
ââ¬ÅThe future is bright and Iââ¬â¢m confident I will play a huge part in Kotokoââ¬â¢s Premier League success this season.ââ¬
Kotokoââ¬â¢s participation in next yearââ¬â¢s CAF Champions will serve as a fine platform for the youngster to showcase his talent on the continent.
