“It will affect us but during the preseason we will see what to do.
“He is a speedster and and as a player like Okrah going out you will always want him to stay.” He stated.
Okrah, the former Asante Kotoko winger has reportedly signed a two-year deal with the club and he is expected to leave the shores of the country in the coming days for medicals.
The 28-year-old who was the livewire of the Hunters helped them finish third in the Premier League and runners-up in the MTN FA Cup.
