Management member of Asante Kotoko, Nana Gyimbibi Coker says that the Porcupine Warriors will look to downsize their playing squad before the close of the transfer window.

He said the club is making frantic efforts to ship out some dead wood, whose services will no longer be needed by the coach Maxwell Konadu.

"The coach has made it clear some of the players will be sent on loan and others released," he told Light Fm in Kumasi.

"He will register 30 players and more importantly work with 27 players for the season."

"Alexis Didi Arnold and George Abege have been officially communicated to regarding their release from the club" he added.
