Confirmed:Kotoko transfer-list four senior players

By Patrick Akoto

Midfielders Frank Boateng and Afranie Yeboah are among four senior players that have put on the transfer list by Asante Kotoko.

The  other two Mohammed Sabato and John Kuffuor have been shown the exit as the team continues with plans to build a crack side that can defend their Premier League crown.

Sabato has joined Medeama on a three-year deal while towering defender Kuffuor is yet to get new employers.

The Ghanaian champions have also confirmed six reserve players will be leaving the club after putting in transfer requests.

Frederick Sarpong, Ibrahim Alhassan, Goalkeeper Rashid Seidu, Charles Agyei-Mensah, Michael Sarpong and Glorious Obeng have been asked to look elshwere. .

"After agreeing with them on what to do with their respective cases, we have duly paid the remainder of outstanding balance of their served pro-rata contract period if any, and have also paid them three months salaries in lieu of the notice of the cancellation of their contracts," Supporters and Public Affairs ManagerListowell Yseu Bukarson told the Kotoko Express.

"Since we cannot release the playing cards and certificates to the players themselves, we are on a full standby to release their cards to any club that they the players would so instruct,”

“It is with a heavy heart that Dr. Sarpong had to sanction their going, but since those movements would be in the ultimate interest of the players as they say, we will not be a stumbling block in their movements,”

“As a matter of fact, Kotoko is grateful to them for their service to us and we wish them well wherever they will find their way."

Kotoko are desperate to return to the top of African football after a six-year absence and are putting up a comprehensive plan to ensure they make a huge impact at next year's Caf Champions League.
