Asante Kotoko on the haunt for Ashgold's Shafiu Mumuni

Asante Kotoko and Maxwell Konadu have reignited their interest in Ashanti Gold captain Shafiu Mumuni in the on-going transfer window.

Coach Maxwell Konadu is keen on strengthening his front-line for the second round of the 2019/20 Ghana Premier League which is currently suspended due to the outbreak of coronavirus.

The 24-year-old has been on the radar of the Porcupine Warriors despite failing to impress during his trials with Romanian giants CFR Cluj.

The club made several attempts to sign the highly-rated forward but a deal couldn't materialize last season.

According to reports, coach Konadu is set to release Richard Arthur due to his poor performance to add Mumuni to his attacking options.

Mumuni scored four goals in four matches in the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Confederation Cup late last year for Ashanti Gold, however, the Miners could not progress to the group phase of the competition.

He led the Black Stars B to place second in the West African Football Union (WAFU) tournament in Senegal and won the goal king award after scoring four goals in five matches.
