Asante Kotoko head coach, Charles Kwablan Akunnor has given the clearest indication that his side are ready for their Africa campaign.

Kotoko is the only club that will represent the country in CAF’s inter-club competition due to the truncations of the Ghana Premier League.

Having earned a walkover in the first preliminary round, Asante Kotoko now takes on a Kariobangi Sharks side who impressed in the first round by edging out Djibouti’s Alter Solar by 9-2 on aggregate.

However, the former Black Stars skipper has insisted that the Porcupine Warriors are ready for their CAF Confederations Cup campaign.

“It is good to see what Dr Kwame Kyei is doing for the club and from the management level, George Amoako has been doing all he can to help the club and one thing I can assure you is that we will work very hard, do our best and get as far as we can,” Akunnor told Asempa FM.

Quizzed about how the new players adapting at the club, he said, “The team keeps improving every now and then and that’s a good sign

“We want to see improvement in every much because it raises our confidence level,” he added.

Asante Kotoko flies to Ethiopia en route to Kenya on Tuesday morning ahead of the first leg clash slated for the Moi International Sports Centre in Nairobi, Kenya.
