Ghana Black Stars center back, Habib Mohammed has revealed he was discouraged from swapping Ashanti Gold for Asante Kotoko in 2019 during an interview with Kotoko Express.
“I heard a whole lot of negatives stories,” Habib revealed to Kotoko Express App. “Kotoko called me and I directed them to speak to my Manager (former Kotoko player, Yusif Chibsah). Deep inside, I was very happy because it had long been my dream to play for Kotoko. But, I was also surprised because I thought that the opportunity had come quite too early in my career.”
“I consulted a lot of people for advice and most of them told me to turn down the offer because, according to them, historically, no player from Sunyani has succeeded in Kotoko.”
“That left me in a dilemma because on one side was a boy who loved challenges and wished to play for his dream club and on another, was a confused boy who seemed afraid of what the future held for him. I committed everything to prayers and my manager and my family came in to convince me to make the move.”
