Asante Kotoko have officially announced release of five first team players as the club begins to trim down the squad to a sizeable figure ahead of their Champions League campaign starting August 9.
The club took to its official twitter account to confirm the list of players put on transfer which includes recently signed Zabo Teguy. The list include Daniel Nii Adjei, striker Obed Owusu,Umar Basiru and Stephen Nyarko.
“We have put the following players on transfer; Obed Owusu, Dany Zabo Teguy, Umar Basiru, Stephen Nyarko, Daniel Nii Agyei. We thank them for their services and wish them all the best in their future endeavours”, the club announced via its official twitter account.
Ivorian striker Zabo completed his move to Kotoko in January on a transfer deadline day under the the coach CK Akonnor and was registered for the CAF Confederation Cup campaign last season where he featured in few games for the Porcupine Warriors. He joined Kotoko on a free transfer on a three years deal after ending his contract with Swaziland club Manzini FC but has since failed to impress, hence the termination of his contract.
Returnee Nii Adjei along with one of the long serving forwards Obed Owusu have also been released and this marks just the beginning of list of players set to be released for the reasons of substandard performance.
