I did not fail trials at CFR Cluj - Shafiu Mumuni

Ashanti Gold SC striker Shafiu Mumuni has denied reports that he failed to impress officials during his trials with Romanian giants CFR Cluj.

The Black Stars B captain went to Romania in a bid to get a contract from CFR Cluj after missing game time for the Obuasi based club for months.

However, according to the local media reports linking the forward to Asante Kotoko, the player has returned because he failed to impress the technical team of CFR Cluj during the trials.

Mumuni in an interview with Kumasi FM 104.1 MHZ asked the public to disregard reports of him failing trials in Romania.

"It is true I went to Romania to have stints with CFR Cluj together with some players from Argentina and Paraguay. Everything went on smooth but the FA suspended the league in the week I had to complete the paper works because of the Coronavirus pandemic," he told Kumasi FM 104.1 MHZ.

"The club president called yesterday and assured he will invite me to complete the paper works whenever the league resumes. I still have a contract with Ashgold hence my decision to continue with them when the league resumes," he explained.
