Kotoko coach Konadu fears player exits

Asante Kotoko coach Maxwell Konadu admits to concerns of losing key players to clubs ready to make huge offers for their services.

Konadu’s worry comes in the wake of GHANAsoccernet.com’s report that English clubs Arsenal and Manchester City are in the hunt to sign flying left-back Baba Abdul Rahman.

The former Dreams FC defender amongst other players have been instrumental in Kotoko’s impressive league charge this term and their coach fears it could get even worse with the end of the current European season on the horizon.

“I am really worried by this (possible departures) and is something we will be looking to deal with very soon,” he told GHANAsoccernet.com.

“Even now, there are some offers for some key players of our team on the table.

“It will be clearly very difficult for us (Kotoko) to hold onto some of them but others I am sure we can get replacements for.

“But really it is a concern and together with my boss (Dr. Sarpong) we will strategize to see how best we can resolve this issue by next month.”

Kotoko have already lost striker Nathaniel Asamoah to Serbian giant Red Star Belgrade during the January transfer period.
