Ex-Ashgold winger arrives in Finland to seal Ilves FC move

Former Ashanti Gold winger Latif Mohammed has arrived in Finland to open contract talks with top-flight side Ilves FC, Pulse.com.gh can exclusively confirm.

The 27 year old speedster left the shores of Ghana last Sunday and he has officially started contract talks with his yet to join club.

Latif has been out of competitive football since ending his contract with Ashanti Gold in 2015 and during the local transfer window he was close in joining newly promoted premier league side Dreams FC but talks between the two parties failed to materialize

“It is true, I’m in Finland now and my team and Ilves FC have met  and we are discussing the contract details, so hopefully in the coming days I will officially put pen to paper but for the duration of the contract  I want to be silent on it,” Latif exclusively told Pulse.com.gh from his base in Finland.

“Though negotiations are ongoing, last Monday I started training with the team and I’m getting use to the club’s philosophy, the coach appreciate my quality and he want me to be part of his team, the former Great Olympics winger added.

Latif in 2014 was part of the Local Black Stars team that won silver at the CHAN championship held in South Africa.
