Asante Kotoko striker Isaac Boakye admits he is struggling to get up to speed with the modern trends of local football.

The 32-year-old joined the Ghanaian champions having been out of football for almost two years.

Boakye was a huge success during his first stint with the club which earned him his first move abroad in 2003 when he joined German club Armenia Bielefeld.

The veteran striker hopes to be a success again on his return but admits he has a lot of catching up to do after being away from the local game for close to ten years.

“I am preparing with the team. It has been a long time since I played in the Ghana league and it is quite tough,” he told Metro FM.

“Sometimes it is very difficult for me but I am trying to catch up with the football and the weather here.

“I am trying very hard to do my best because it is not easy.

“But once I have decided to play I will do my possible best to be a success again in the team.”
