Exclusive: Kotoko ready to splash GH¢90,000 to re-sign Jordan Opoku

League Champions Asante Kotoko are poised to make a GH¢60,000 offer to bring back former club captain Jordan Opoku from Berekum Chelsea, Leviticus sports can exclusively reveal.

The 27-year old has been linked with a move to the porcupine warriors since the transfer window opened and according to our sources, Chelsea who were initially reluctant to release the midfield gem have given in following the player expressing his desire for a re-union with Asante Kotoko.

According to our sources, talks between both clubs have begun with the Berekum-based club demanding GH¢80,000 for the cards of Opoku who signed for the club in December 2011. However, Kotoko are ready to splash to splash GH¢90,000 to complete a deal on the player. This would involve a GH¢30,000 sign-on fee for two years with the remainder going to Chelsea.

Opoku signed for Berekum Chelsea as a free agent after returning from a loan spell in Albania and registered in the second half of the 2011/12 season for the Blues after a two-year stint with the porcupine warriors. His departure was as a result of misunderstanding in contract extension demands. The player was then demanding GH¢40,000 to extend his stay by two years, an amount which the Dr.Sarpong-led management was reluctant to offer.

The former Gomoah Fetteh Feyernoord midfielder was one of the most consistent players in the Ghana Premier League last season.
