Asante Kotoko have completed the signing of versatile defender Francis Acquah on a three-year contract.
The left-back joins the Porcupine Warriors from fellow Ghana Premier League side Bechem United as the club gears up for the upcoming CAF Confederation Cup campaign.
Speaking to the club’s media team, Acquah revealed that Kotoko’s stature and continental ambitions were key to his decision.
“There were other clubs interested, but the stature of Asante Kotoko and the fact that we’ll be competing in the CAF Confederation Cup played a big role in my decision,” he said.
“I’ve always heard about the passion and support this club receives in continental football, and I’m eager to be part of it for as long as I’m here.”
Acquah is known for his composure, intelligence, and ability to read the game. Though primarily a left-back, he is capable of playing across the back line, offering tactical flexibility to Kotoko’s defence.
He is expected to make his debut in the highly anticipated President’s Cup clash against arch-rivals Accra Hearts of Oak on July 6, 2025.
In addition to Acquah, Asante Kotoko have also announced the signing of midfielder Hubert Gyau from Berekum Chelsea as part of their squad strengthening efforts ahead of the continental competition.
