Asante Kotoko are on the verge of announcing the signing of Karela FC defender Ismael Ganiu, according to media reports.
Ganiu joined Karela FC on a short deal prior to the commencement of the 2017/18 Ghana Premier League after parting ways with Ukrainian top flight side Olimpik Donetsk.
According to reports, the 22-year-old has held successful talks with the officials of the Porcupine Warriors over a possible switch.
"We have contacted him [Ismail Ganiyu] for his services but nothing is concrete yet. He is one of the best defenders in the Ghana Premier League" a source told Kickgh.com
"We want to build a strong team to achieve our target of conquering Africa"
He was part of the Wa All Stars squad that clinched the Ghanaian top-flight league two seasons ago.
Ganiu made 15 appearances with two goals to his credit and also won two MVP Awards during the first round of the 2017/18 Ghana Premier League season.
