Former Asante Kotoko Chief Executive Officer [CEO], Samuel Opoku Nti has backed the club club to sign Mohammed Alhassan to augment the defensive setup of the team.
The Porcupine Warriors are yet to live up to expectations in the ongoing Ghana Premier League campaign.
Kotoko were to a 1-1 draw against Tamale City on Wednesday at the Aliu Mahama Stadium.
They currently sit 2nd on the league log with 20 points after 12 games played.
Reports in the local media suggest Kotoko are in talks to sign Mohammed Alhassan after parting ways with Hearts of Oak.
Speaking to Kumasi-based Oyerepa FM in an interview, Opoku Nti asserted the addition of Mohammed Alhassan benefits the club.
“If Asante Kotoko are able to sign Mohammed Alhassan, he will help the team. He has a rich experience and he will augment the back line if he joins.
”Kotoko need a tough and experienced defender to guide and control the back seat," he added.
Asante Kotoko will travel to DUN's Park on Monday to face Bibiani Gold Stars in the matchday 13 games.
