Ghana’s formidable football force, Asante Kotoko, is currently in discussions with former midfielder Abdul Fatawu Safiu, exploring the prospect of his return and expressing a commitment to finalizing the deal before the closure of the second transfer window, as reported by kickgh.com.
Initially joining the Porcupine Warriors in 2018, the 29-year-old played a pivotal role in coach CK Akonnor’s squad, contributing significantly to their journey to the lucrative stages of the CAF Confederations Cup in 2019.
Safiu’s consistently impressive performances during that season led to a move to Sweden, where he featured for Trelleborgs FF for two years before a brief stint at Trollhättan. Following his time with Iraqi top-tier side Al Sinaa SC, Safiu has remained without a club since the commencement of the 2023/24 football season.
Reports indicate that the skillful midfielder is currently engaged in advanced negotiations with the Reds, and a reunion seems probable if both parties can come to an agreement.
In addition, Kotoko is actively pursuing the acquisition of Emmanuel Kotei, the right-back from Nsoatreman FC, with hopes of finalizing the deal before the commencement of the second round.
