"The coach has disclosed to us that he doesn't need Empem Dacosta at Kotoko. We have accepted his decision," Blessing told Kumasi-based Wontumi FM

"We are only waiting for the club to pay us and terminate contract officially. We are asking for all entitlements to paid to us."

He joined Asante Kotoko on a three-year deal last year but managed just three appearances for the Ghanaian giants last term.
