Communications Director of Asante Kotoko, Moses Antwi Benefo has opened up on why his outfit signed Brazilian midfielder Fabio Gama Dos Santos.

Last week, Asante Kotoko announced the capture of former Brazil youth player Fabio Santos ahead of the forthcoming campaign.

Santos joined the Porcupine Warriors as a free agent after leaving Swedish second-tier side Jönköpings Sodra IF in March 2020.

The Kumasi-based giants have been subjected to mockery from the media landscape as well as some advocates of the Ghanaian top-flight following the signing of the Brazilian midfielder.

However, Asante Kotoko spokesman Moses Benefo has clarified that the capture of the player will help sell the club internationally

“Fabio Gama Dos Santos, a lot of people are lambasting us, it has become the talking point in the country but as we speak, about seventeen international top sports websites are reporting about him. The French-speaking countries, Portuguese and others are all talking about him and it tells you his level,” he said.

“Some describe him as a top player while others are skeptical. His signing is creating a buzz around the team, the boy, and around the league because people will be willing to watch that orthodox number 10.”

“Brazil is bound with talents so if he is able to feature for the U-17 and U-20 national teams it tells the quality he possesses. We should forget about people saying he does not score goals, he is an orthodox player,” he concluded.
