These players are expected to leave the club and will not take part in next season’s campaign.

Asante Kotoko will release more players according to reports, the club wants to make room for the new recent signings.

Asante Kotoko fans are having mixed feelings about the Ivorian Import; some are asking the club to offload him, while some believe he needs time to settle in the club.

The Ivorian striker joined the Porcupines on a free transfer in January before the CAF Confederation Cup Campaign and made his debut against Zesco United.

Dany Zabo hasn’t shown his qualities to the fans as he’s struggled since his signing. The striker went out injured early April and made his return in the Otumfuo Cup against Asec Mimosas were he failed to impress.

Fans voiced out their concerns following his penalty miss against Real Tamale United in the NC Special Cup on Wednesday at the Baba Yara Stadium.

One said “That guy can’t play for Kotoko we must show him the exit”, while another said “Big yes, He lacks confidence”

In his defence, another fan tweeted “I heard he scored but his goal was disallowed for offside, He needs more time”

I heard he scored but his goal was disallowed for offside. He needs more time to settle in.

He lacks confidence

Nope. I think he's not a good fit. We've been through the #CAFCC plus the NC group phase with him having next to no impact. Let's cut our losses, shall we?

we need to give players more time to pick their form.
