Asante Kotoko coach Maxwell Konadu has disclosed new Brazilian signing Fabio Gama Dos Santos is edging close to his first appearance for the club.
Since sealing a move to the Porcupine Warriors, Fabio Gama is yet to play a game for the club due to fitness concerns.
Before his Kotoko switch, he was inactive for seven months, having last played for Swedish second division fold Jonkoping Sodra, with whom he parted ways in March.
"He is now almost ready while we are working on his documentation, his fitness level is now good. I was impressed with the way he trained this week," coach Konadu said
"So let's see the coming days, everything is ready and we will be introducing him very soon."
He added, "I will train individually for now because I’m not 100 per cent fit yet but as soon as I get ready, then I will start training with the team,” Gama was quoted by 3 News as saying last month."
"I can play like 15, 20, 30 minutes in the meantime and hope to be fit to help my teammates get a great season.
"If I'm being frank, I want to be a champion here. I didn't come here just to play but to be a champion - to win the domestic league and the Caf Champions League with Asante Kotoko."
Gama, a former Brazil U17 and U20 star, is the third Brazilian to sign for Kotoko in the last 15 years following Gleisson de Souza Ferreira in 2005 and Hermes da Silva in 2013.
