Kotoko Striker Toure Rejects Lucrative Chelsea Move

Striker Ahmed Toure will only join an overseas club if he is ever to leave Asante Kotoko, Ghanasoccernet.com understands. The player was on Wednesday reported to be considering a lucrative offer from last season’s Premier League champions, Berekum Chelsea.

An astonishing 150,000 Ghana cedis cash which by Thursday has risen to 250,000 plus a car of his choice is said to have been offered to the Ivorian import by Chelsea President, Emmanuel Kyeremeh.


However, the 24-year-old seems unfazed by the huge offer and has pledged his future with the Porcupine Warriors. “I am and will still be a Kotoko player by the time the new premier league season kicks off,” Toure told Accra-based Hot FM.


“Even though the offer from Chelsea, as I am hearing is huge, I want to state emphatically that I will only leave for an overseas club if ever I leave Kotoko.”

The striker whose mother (Djeneba Kone) is taking ill back home in the Ivory Coast also confirmed his availability for Kotoko’s pre-season tour of Serbia.


“I will be part of Kotoko’s team for the Serbia trip and I hope we do well to represent Ghana well while there,” he added. The entire Kotoko contingent are expected to leave Accra on Saturday for the Serbia tour.
