Talismanic Asante Kotoko winger, Maxwell Baakoh has set his sight on winning a continental trophy with the Porcupine Warriors following his return from a year-long injury nightmare.

According to the ambitious player, his prime target is to lift one of the CAF Champions League or thre Confederation Cup during his time with the Reds.

The nimble footed play maker set the Baba Yara Stadium alight in his early stages with the club before picking a knee injury that ruled him out of action for over a year.

However speaking on Light FM, Maxwell Baakoh said, “I want to win an African trophy for Asante Kotoko either Confederation Cup or Champions League. If next season we get the ticket to play in either competition, we should go all out to the finals.

I want to leave a legacy there that this squad won an African trophy for the club, that’s the most important thing.”

Maxwell Baakoh rose through the ranks of Samin FC before joining the developmental side of Wa All Stars FC.

The left footed prodigy has since developed into a poster boy in the Ghana Premier League led by the 2016 triumphant season.
