Mad rush for Nania FC players

Several top-flight Ghanaian sides have been slapping in request to sign players from MTN FA Cup winners Nania FC.

The second tier side defeated giants Kotoko in the FA Cup final on Sunday and dominated the exchanges with their beautiful brand of football.

Now Kotoko and arch rivals Hearts of Oak as well as big spenders Berekum Chelsea have all entered the race to sign some of the Nania players.

Some of the players targeted are captain Lawrence Lartey, impressive defender Aziz Abankwa, midfielder Prince Baffoe and striker David Amewu.

Kotoko have already named the four players they want to sign from the club owned and coached by legend Abedi Pele.

"Some of the Kotoko officials approached me immediately after the game on Sunday about the prospect of signing four of our players," Nania assistant coach Annoh Walker said.

"The players include our captain (Lartey), our no. 8 (Baffoe), Aziz Abankwa and the no.7 (Amewu).

"I however directed the Kotoko officials to speak to our chairman (Abedi Pele) about their interests in our players.

"There are some top teams in the country who are also interested in our players."

Abedi, who has strong connections with some European sides, could also release some of his players to foreign clubs.
