As many as 10 players are reportedly on their way out of Asante Kotoko as the club look to restructure ahead of the new season.
According to reports, coach Maxwell Konadu has been asked to trim down his squad from 38 to 28.
The manager has agreed to it and thus shortlisted 10 players, who do not form part of his plans to be shown the exit.
The first casualty is Empem Dacosta. The defender, who joined the club last season, has confirmed his exit after being told his services are no longer needed.
His manager has said they are awaiting a “payoff” for the remainder of the centre-back’s contract so he amicably leaves Kotoko.
Guinean striker Naby Keita, Godred Asiamah, Augustine Sefa, Matthew Kelvin Andoh, Evans Owusu and Richard Arthur are some of the names reportedly on the exit list.
Richard Senanu, who has recovered from an ACL injury, as well as versatile right-back Samuel Frimpong, are said to have been made available for loan spells away from Kotoko.
Kotoko under the new leadership of Chief Executive Officer, Nana Yaw Amponsah wants to build a formidable team that can dominate on the local scene and compete in Africa.
