Asante Kotoko coach CK Akonnor will scout for Ghana at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt this June, according to local reports.

The ex-Black Stars captain will be one of three scouts to monitor Ghana's Group F opponents at the tournament.

Akonnor acted in a similar role at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea during the reign of Avram Grant and the team finished second.

Former Kotoko coach Mas-Ud Dramani, who is now with Danish side Nordsjaelland, and former Middlesbrough captain George Boateng have also been penciled down.

Ghana will face Cameroon, Benin and Guinea-Bissau in Group F at the tournament.
