Emmanuel Clottey insists he did no wrong in Asante Kotoko FIFA fine

Striker Emmanuel Clottey says he cannot be blamed for transfer impasse between Asante Kotoko and Esperance which resulted in an accumulated US$ 240,000 fine to the Ghana Premier League giants.

Clottey signed for Kotoko in 2015 but had his status challenged at FIFA by the Tunis-based side.

Esperance claimed they had a running contract with the player at the time he signed for the Porcupine Warriors and won the case.

Kotoko were found guilty for using Clottey in a game for 30 minutes.

The former Ghana Premier League goalking later went to court but had his case against Kotoko thrown out and handed a punitive cost of Ghc 5,000.

''I told Kotoko I was not a free agent, so I directed them to have a discussion with my agent,'' Clottey told Kumasi-based Fox FM.

''I never heard from Kotoko again, till I was told by my agent to go and sign for Kotoko which I did.

''I asked my agent about Esperance and he told me it will be settled later.

''When my agent asked me to sign I did, but I was surprised how Kotoko got my ITC.''
