Ghana and Asante Kotoko forward Abdul Safiu Fatawu is set to arrive in the country on Monday, Footballghana.com can report.

Fatawu was on trails with Swedish side Helsingborg but has been recalled by his parent club after the Swedish side offered $15,000 to sign him which the  Porcupine Warriors turned down.

Footballghana.com understands that the club had wanted to take him for six months which they offered Asante Kotoko $15,000 and should he impress make an offer of $60,000 to make the deal permanent.

Public Relations Officer of Asante Kotoko revealed that the offer was below the player's quality and can only allow the striker to leave when the right offer comes.

“We have asked the player to come back to Ghana because looking at Fatawu’s quality, his pedigree, value, you can’t pay $15000 for him,” Kennedy Boakye Ansah told Oyerepa FM.

“Kotoko deserves better, we don’t think the player deserves that so we have asked the player to come back to Ghana.”

Abdul is expected to join the team as they prepare for the CAF Champions League game against Kano Pillars on August 10.
