Asante Kotoko have announced that Abdul Fatawu is to return from his trials at Swedish club Helsingborg IF following the ‘meager’ amount the club quoted for him.

Abdul Fatawu was impressive in his two-week trial with the Swedish side but he has been recalled after the European side proposed a $15,000 offer, an amount the Public Relations Officer (PRO), Kennedy Boakye Ansah describes as ‘peanuts’ considering the player’s quality.

“After an excellent cap last season, he had the opportunity to go on trials at Helsingborg. We had a proposal from the team for a one-year loan deal but we saw the amount quoted by Helsingborg for him as an insult and as big as Kotoko is, we can’t accept that amount.” Kennedy Boakye said.

“The money is too small for such a quality player. Fatawu is an important player. His services will be needed during our African campaign. If the club can’t improve their offer, they should forget about his signature.” he added

Abdul Fatawu was joint top scorer with Diawisie Taylor of Karela United in the novelty Tier one cup scoring ten goals in the competition.
