“There were other clubs interested, but the stature of Asante Kotoko and the fact that we’ll be competing in the CAF Confederation Cup played a big role in my decision,” Acquah told the club's media team.
“I’ve always heard about the passion and support this club receives in continental football, and I’m eager to be part of it for as long as I’m here," he added.
Acquah arrives in Kumasi to strengthen Asante Kotoko’s defensive options. Comfortable playing anywhere across the back line, he is a composed and intelligent defender, known for his sharp reading of the game and precise passing out from the back.
Acquah is expected to make his debut for Asante Kotoko against their arch-rivals, Accra Hearts of Oak, in the 2025 President Cup scheduled for July 6, 2025.
Meanwhile, Kotoko has also announced the signing of midfielder Hubert Gyau from Berekum Chelsea. This forms part of the team's preparation for the upcoming CAF Confederation Cup.

Who will win on July 6, 2025? Karim Zito will face Didi Dramani. Supporter Omanhene Kwabena Asante of the NDC and Asante Kotoko will compete against Kwaku Baako Jr., an apostle of the NPP and Accra Hearts of Oak. The match will be between Asante Kotoko Sporting Club and Accra Hearts of Oak for the President's Cup. Again, who wins?
