Abdul Latif Anabila Set For Asante Kotoko Move - Reports

Ashgold midfielder, Abdul Latif Anabila is close to completing a switch to regional rivals Asante Kotoko, according to reports.

The highly-rated midfielder has been heavily linked to the club.

However, the 23 times Ghana Premier League giants were reluctant to pay the transfer fee of $20,000.

Prior to the closing of the second transfer window of the Ghanaian football season, the National Circles Council (NCC) of Kotoko asked for permission from management to sign the player for the team but the request was denied.

After several engagements, the management finally bought the idea and gave the supporters group the go-ahead to sign one player for the team as confirmed in a club statement last week.

Since then the leadership of the supporters has been in talks with Latif Anabila’s handlers and Ashanti Gold to try and seal his transfer.

Sources say, talks have gone on smoothly and the player is on the brink of committing his future to Kotoko

An agreement is expected to be reached soon but the midfielder will not join the Kumasi-based club until the next transfer window is opened.
