Cameroon international, Georges Rodrigue Mfegue Omgba has emerged as one of two late striker signings Asante Kotoko have managed to secure ahead of the 2021/22 season.
While parting ways with a lot of players and equally augmenting their squad with over a dozen of youthful and experienced signings, the Porcupine Warriors have had it tough fixing a major problem area for their team in the last campaign – landing the services of a proven scorer or two in the transfer market.
After a failed attempt to sign last season’s second-round sensation Justus Torsutsey from WAFA SC, the Porcupine Warriors cast their net wide to other African countries.
Kotoko rekindled their interest in Ugandan striker Steven Mukwala, a target from last season but failed again to sign him.
Despite the player publicly declaring sealing his personal terms and eager to join the team at their Dubai training camp when he is done with national team duties this week, Kotoko couldn’t meet the demands of his current club URA FC with whom he has one year left on his contract.
The 23-time Ghanaian champions, however, managed to find an alternative fix by signing two strikers from the Cameroon Elite One League, club sources indicate.
