Head coach of Kumasi Asante Kotoko Charles Kwablan Akonnor is expecting the recruitment of new players to strengthen his team.

Akonnor believes the current squad is inadequate hence the decision to go into the transfer market.

“Looking at the target set for ourselves it will be prudent to do some additions to the current team,” Akonnor told Footballmadeinghana at the launching of the sponsorship agreement between Paradise Pac Drinking water and Asante Kotoko on Thursday.

“But these additions are not going to be like we signing ten more players. But we are looking at the vital departments that need a boost and the immediate is at the defence”

“There are crop of players we want and management are helping to get them” he added.

Meanwhile, the Porcupine Warriors have been linked with Karela United centre back Ismail Ganinyu who won the premier league with Wa All Stars two seasons ago.

The former Ashanti Gold coach also revealed that he will promote some players from the youth team to join the senior side.
