The head coach of Asante Kotoko, Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum, has revealed plans to promote some of the team’s youth players to the first team during the 2024/25 football season.
In an interview with the club's media team on Monday, August 5, Coach Ogum expressed confidence that some of the teenagers in the youth team could outperform current first-team players when given the opportunity.
"Basically, the aim of this project is to ensure that we can transition some of these players into the first team. We will register some of these boys in the system and as the league unfolds, we will let some of them have a feel of it. So, what we want to do is that we will look at them and some of the time we will ask some of them to come and join the first team and then train," Coach Ogum explained.
He continued, "When it is possible, we will give them the opportunity to play. I’m sure some of these players, if we give them the opportunity, will rock shoulders with some of the first-team players."
Following a trophy-less campaign last season, Asante Kotoko aims to secure at least one trophy by the end of the 2024/25 football season.
