Asante Kotoko new recruit Emmanuel Osei says he feels at home after joining the Porcupine Warriors from AshantiGold.

Osei, formerly of Asokwa Deportive in Kumasi, penned a three-year deal last week before the second transfer window shut.

"I am a Kumasi boy, from Asokwa. Kotoko is a big club and every Ghanaian footballer, like me, aspires to come here,” Osei told Kotoko Express.

"People respect Kotoko because of what they have achieved both in the past years and now.

"Players see the club as a big family. And in life, it is only appropriate that you attach yourself with such achievers in order become great.

"I travelled with AshantiGold to Algeria for a Champions League game and the Algerians kept asking us about Kotoko.

"They said that Kotoko was the only club they know in Ghana. I feel at home because I am now at the club of my heart and one located in my native city."
