Information available to Kotoko Express indicates that no written offers have come in for Kotoko striker, Ahmed Toure and all other players who excelled during the club’s 12-day tour of Serbia.

There have been many media reports that the Ivorian striker and many other players are likely to leave Kotoko for clubs in Serbia yet speaking on these reports last Thursday in an interview with Kotoko Express, Executive Chairman, Dr. K. K. Sarpong was categorical that the club has received no written offers for Toure or any other player.

“I have not had any offer yet” said Dr. Sarpong. “If I have any offer, I will review it and then I will know what to do. At the moment, no written offer has come” stressed the Kotoko leader who maintained that the issue of players being sold has been blown out of proportion.

“This issue of sale of players is being over bloated! I mean it is being exaggerated!  We will sell players if we have offers, very good offers. We are not going to sell players for pittance. We are going to sell them for good value.

He restated that no offers have come for any player. So far I do not have any concrete offer but if the offers come they will be considered and reviewed. Dr. Sarpong expressed delight with the performance of the players during the tour of Serbia.

“All the players who played excelled. A lot of interests have been expressed but in the football industry until we get written offers and we have gone through the negotiations, we will not make any conclusion that we have sold any player” he explained.

Dr. Sarpong reiterated his vision for Kotoko is to essentially rebuild structures for the future. The immediate task according him, however, include

“Trying to get a better office, better training facilities, better technical bench, and better players”.

He announced that Kotoko would soon unveil players it has recruited for the 2011/2012 season saying,
