Five Asante Kotoko foreign import FLOPS the past three years

Asante Kotoko have signed some talented foreign imports but not much can be said in the last five years. 

Majority of the club's foreign contingent failed to meet expectations.

Kotoko have signed players from Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Kenya and South Africa.

AKSC News profiles five flops in last three years.

George Abege

With an impressive showing at the 2018 CAF Confederation Cup with Kariobangi Sharks convinced Asante Kotoko to capture the Ugandan. But little did they know he was not the solution to their goal-scoring problem.

However, the towering forward failed to make an impact since his arrival in Ghana.

Asante Kotoko later wanted a loan deal for the bulky striker but they could not find a club for him hence the termination of Contract.

Alex Arnold Didi

The lanky midfielder went through a three days trial under Former Coach Kjetil Zachariassen before he was given a three-year contract after he ended his stay with AS Togo Port.

Didi’s performance at Kotoko was nothing to write home about and has never started a game for the porcupine warriors.

His contract was terminated later and was rewarded with a three-month salary.

Moussa Adingra

Arguably the most bizarre transfer in the history of the club. The former Lobi Stars attacker had his contract terminated just after 10 days of signing a three-year deal.

He was brought in as part of the rebuilding process but saw his contract prematurely terminated by Asante Kotoko. The striker failed to convince management and technical team of his attacking prowess.

Kjetil Zachariassen who recommended the Ivorian for the Porcupine Warriors reversed his thoughts, saying the striker’s performance is not satisfactory and below average.

Dany Zabo Teguy

Asante Kotoko completed the signing of the Ivorian international in 2018 prior to their CAF Confederation Cup campaign. He penned a 3-year deal with the Porcupines but lasted only a season.

Zabo Teguy looked big and strong like anything could hit him and stick. He should have been a colossus, but he just wasn’t.

The Ivorian import has been one of Kotoko’s worst signing of the decade and the club were happy to let him leave last year despite being short in attack, which sums up his situation.

Sylla Vie Mohammed

The fourth and last Ivorian on the list, Sylla joined Asante Kotoko in 2017 after a successful trial but failed to make his presence felt at the Kumasi-based side, which could partly be blamed on injury troubles and change of coaches.

The 25-year-old spent most of his time in the club out of matchday squads having made the bench and also featured in games on few occasions.

He managed two appearances during the first round of the truncated 2017/2018 Ghana Premier League season.

He was shunted to the sidelines by C.K Akonnor in his second season, and the Ivorian soon returned to his homeland, having spectacularly failed to show his true worth.
