Ghana FA Cup champions Asante Kotoko have parted ways with five senior players following the conclusion of the 2024/25 season, Kickgh.com reports.
Club captain Justice Blay tops the list after the expiration of his contract and disciplinary concerns. Midfielder Michael Kyei Dwamena also departs after seeing out his three-year deal.
Nigerian forward Fernando Wisdom Bassey, who joined from Sporting Lagos in August 2024, has been let go after scoring just once in 16 Premier League games.
Others released include Daniel Adrian Adjetey, Kwasi Asante, Samuel Tenadu, and Sampson Eduku; all deemed surplus to requirements.
The club’s Interim Management Committee is currently in talks to renew deals with key players like Frederick Asare, Andrews Ntim Manu, and Baba Yahaya, while pursuing new signings including Hubert Gyau, Zakaria Fuseini, and Francis Acquah.
Kotoko, Ghana’s sole representative in the 2025/26 CAF Confederation Cup, are reshaping their squad after claiming a record 10th FA Cup title.
