Golden Kick FC and Asante Kotoko have begun negotiations for the transfer of Asante Owusu, their key offensive midfield player.
The gifted number 10 was crucial to Golden Kick's incredible FA Cup success this season, and the Porcupine Warriors are getting ready to make an official bid for him. Owusu's efforts almost led his team to victory in Sunday's final against Kotoko, but they lost heartbreakingly in the final minute due to a contentious penalty.
According to sources, Golden Kick is prepared to release their valuable asset provided Kotoko meets their valuation requirements.
A popular target due to his vision, dribbling prowess, and goal contributions, the 21-year-old playmaker has become one of Ghana's most exciting creative talents.
Getting Owusu will greatly increase Kotoko's squad depth for the continental campaign, as they will be playing for Ghana in the CAF Confederation Cup next season after winning the FA Cup.
Officials at the club see him as a vital boost to their midfield options.
Kotoko is anticipated to formally present its offer in the next several days, although negotiations are still underway. This possible acquisition demonstrates the club's desire to be a formidable local and African competitor.
