Charles Taylor could start training with Kumasi Asante Kotoko next week if he receives a release letter from his Tunisian side Etoile Du Sahel this week.

Taylor has been in the country for the past fortnight after a dreadful year with the CAF Champions league finalists.

Kotoko who initially wanted to sign the player on a yearlong loan deal have now decided on an outright purchase.

The Tunisian side are said to be willing to release the player for 377, 000 dollars.
