Asante Kotoko’s new signing, defender Francis Acquah, has revealed that the opportunity to play in the CAF Confederation Cup was a major factor in his decision to join the club.
“There were other clubs interested, but the stature of Asante Kotoko and the fact that we’ll be competing in the CAF Confederation Cup played a big role in my decision,” Acquah said in his first interview with Asante Kotoko Media.
He added, “I’ve always heard about the passion and support this club receives in continental football, and I’m eager to be part of it for as long as I’m here.”
Acquah joins Kotoko from Bechem United, where he made 94 league appearances over four seasons, and has signed a three-year contract with the Porcupine Warriors.
The club announced his signing on June 24, stating that Acquah’s arrival would strengthen their defensive options.
With his enthusiasm for playing in continental competitions, Acquah is set to be a valuable addition to Kotoko’s squad as they prepare for the upcoming season.
