Management member of Kumasi Asante Kotoko Nana Kwame Dankwah, has assured fans that the club will pay the $240,000 fine imposed by FIFA before the deadline thereby they should be calm.

The Ghana Premier League giants have until May 17, 2020, to make payment of the above mentioned figure or will suffer both a local and international transfer ban.

The FIFA Disciplinary Committee took this decision against Asante Kotoko last month for the illegal transfer of striker Emmanuel Clottey in 2015.

The player was then on the books of Tunisian club Esperance Sportive de Tunis.

According to Nana Kwame Dankwah who serves as the Deputy Greater Accra Rep of the club, there is cause for alarm and assures supporters that the deadline will be met.

“Our supporters should remain calm. There is no cause for alarm. In fact, the Chairman is just organising himself to pay the money,” he told Joy FM.
