The centre back has opened up on why he failed to extend his contract with the Porcupine Warriors ahead of the 2020/21 season
Former Asante Kotoko defender Emmanuel Agyemang Badu has opened the lid on the reasons behind his decision to mutually part ways with the club ahead of the upcoming season.
The youngster, who was coming back from an injury relay, saw his contract expiring and although reports suggested that he was close to extend his stay, he insists the offer from Kotoko was too poor to commit his future to and has decided to play his trade outside Ghana.
“I didn’t want to continue with my career in Ghana that’s why I couldn’t register for Kotoko. As a young player, I can rate my performance 85% with my stint with Kotoko,” Agyemang-Badu Ashh FM
“The offer from Kotoko to me wasn’t reasonable that’s why I didn’t continue with Kotoko. I now want to head elsewhere outside the country.
“I will wish all the current players of Kotoko the best of luck but I will miss ex-Kotoko young chap Mathew Anim Cudjoe since he has also joined Legon Cities FC,” he added.
Agyemang Badu arrived at Kotoko two seasons ago from lower-tier Phar Rangers and was part of the squad that sent Kotoko to their first group stage appearance in Caf Confederation Cup after almost ten years absence.
The youngster was in a fine form when Kabwe picked a vital away point in the national league on Sunday
Ghana youth midfielder Evans Oduro played the full throttle when Kabwe Youth Soccer Academy shared the spoils goalless with Zesco Shockers in the Zambia Division One League on Sunday.
The 20-year-old started the game on left side of the midfield and helped his side to keep the hosts away from their penalty area.
By the 72nd minute, Oduro set up his teammate by playing him through but the striker surprisingly sent his effort wide.
Three minutes later, Oduro saw his long range effort blocked by the hosts’ backline. He will be expected to start once again next weekend when they play at home.

The Porcupine Warriors have announced the signing of the midfielder on Monday after finally receiving his documents
Ghana Premier League giants Asante Kotoko have completed the signing of Sulley Muniru in a two-year deal as a free agent from Tambov FC, the two clubs have confirmed.
Muniru’s deal was expected to be completed on transfer deadline day but had last minute delay as his ITC delayed but it was finally completed on Monday afternoon.
Having had stints with Portuguese side Tondela, Turkish Super Lig side Yeni Malatyaspor and Dinamo Minsk, Muniru comes on board with a lot of experience as Kotoko hope to win 2020/21 Ghana Premier League title as well as qualify to the group stages of Caf Champions League.
Muniru has become the eleventh signing made by Kotoko after the arrival of Ghana goalkeeper Razak Abalora, Patrick Asmah, Fabio da Silva Gama, Andrew Appau, among others.
The experience gaffer believes the defender comes no where near to be given a Black Stars call up ahead of the game against Sudan
Former Asante Kotoko coach J.E Sarpong has insisted that Chelsea defender Abdul Baba Rahman shouldn’t have been named as part of Ghana’s squad that will face Sudan in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The defender has been inactive at Chelsea after he was not even registered by head coach Frank Lampard but C.K Akonnor surprisingly handed him a call up, insisting that he has been playing with Chelsea’s youth team.
“My problem with CK Akonnor’s selection has to do with that of Baba Rahman,” Sarpong said, as quoted by KYFilla.
“Has Baba Rahman been consistent with his team [Chelsea] this season? If it’s because he plays for the reserve side of Chelsea and has earned a call up to represent Ghana, then it’s a big no from my end,” he added.
Ghana will host Sudan on November 12 before they travel to Khartoum five days later for the return fixture.
The Ghanaian striker was offered a little but concise guidance from one of the game’s greatest ever after Juventus’ away win in Serie A

Ronaldo, who had just recovered from Coronavirus disease, scored twice to hand Andrea Pirlo’s side their first win in three games.
“After the game, I had a little chat with Cristiano Ronaldo before leaving the field. I told Ronaldo that he is an inspiration to me and almost all footballers especially young ones,” Gyasi told AshesGyamera.com in an exclusive interview on Monday.
“He was happy to hear that words from me and smiled. He then said thank you very much my brother and advised me to work hard and keep pushing for my dreams since everything is achievable in life,” he added.
Although, Gyasi has consistently been overlooked by Ghana coach C.K Akonnor and will miss the chance to play in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, the youngster insists he is optimistic that he will have his chance in future.
“I want to represent Ghana so I will continue to work hard at club level. I will not allow what happened last month to pull me down.
“I have been consistent at the club level and play in the Serie A every week so I was expecting the coach to at least give me a chance. It didn’t happen but I know my time will come one day,” he added.
Gyasi, who scored the only goal tha brought spezia to Serie A, has featured in all six games that his side has played in the top-flight and boasts of five starts and one assist.
