Asante Kotoko have announced the departure of five players as part of a squad overhaul ahead of their participation in the 2024/25 CAF Confederation Cup.
The latest to leave the club is midfielder Daniel Adrian Adjetey, whose exit was confirmed on Friday, June 20. Adjetey joined the Porcupine Warriors on a one-and-a-half-year deal during the second half of the just-ended season.
His departure follows Thursday’s announcement of the exits of goalkeeper Frederick Asare and midfielder Michael Kyei Dwamena. Asare leaves after the expiration of his contract, while Dwamena also departs following the conclusion of his deal.
Also exiting is Nigerian midfielder Fernando Wisdom Bassey. Signed before the start of the season with high expectations, Bassey struggled to make a significant impact, managing just one goal during his time with the club.
Defender Sampson Eduku has also parted ways with Kotoko. He signed a one-and-a-half-year contract ahead of the second round of the season but has now left the team.
A statement from the club read:
“We can confirm the departure of Fernando Wisdom Bassey, Sampson Eduku and Daniel Adrian Adjetey from the club by mutual termination.
We wish them the best for the future.”
These changes form part of Kotoko’s strategic preparations for continental competition after clinching the 2024/25 MTN FA Cup title.
