Asante Kotoko initiates discussions to acquire Debibi United striker Kwadwo Antwi.
Ghana Premier League powerhouses Asante Kotoko have initiated discussions with newly-promoted Debibi United regarding the possible acquisition of forward Kwadwo Antwi. The Porcupine Warriors are eager to secure the services of the 22-year-old striker to bolster their attack ahead of the forthcoming football season. Sports journalist Shaban Mohammed has reported on this development, confirming that negotiations have begun between the two teams. Antwi has become a key target for the Kumasi-based club after an impressive breakout season in the Access Bank Division One League, where his remarkable goal-scoring ability attracted the attention of multiple top-tier clubs. The young forward played a crucial role in Debibi United's historic promotion effort, scoring 17 goals throughout the season. His standout moment came during the Zone One promotional playoff final, where he netted a crucial hat-trick to secure his club's place in the Ghanaian elite league. Acquiring the highly sought-after forward will necessitate Kotoko overcoming significant obstacles. Debibi United has previously declared that the striker is not available for transfer, intending to retain their star player for their inaugural top-flight season. Additionally, the Porcupine Warriors are contending with fierce competition from their rivals Accra Hearts of Oak, who have also expressed solid interest in the player. Ongoing negotiations are anticipated as Kotoko strives to finalize a deal for the promising talent.
