Kumasi Asante Kotoko has so far announced the signing of seven young players namely, Samuel Appiah, Richmond Lamptey, Maxwell Agyemang, Richard Boadu, Isaac Oppong, Clinton Opoku, and Samuel Samuel Boateng.

In a Facebook chat, Ray Charles Marfo asked the Communication and Brands manager of Kotoko the plan ahead for the signed young players at Kotoko. David Obeng Nyarko responded by saying Asante Kotoko is not doing something different from the Borussia Dortmund module.

“These young guys are first-team players just like BVB signed Jude at a young age for the first team. The youth team project will kick start after coach Gazele’s attachment with Southampton” He said.

The Kumasi-based football club have so far signed 7 young players and are still in talks to sign more players.
