Akonnor is interested in permanently committing to the club but has clearly stated that he needs a happy group of players to work with as they go into the 2017/2018 season.

“One of the reasons I have not signed a contract is that I want them to settle the players first so that they will be happy”.

“We start a lot of happiness and we have the whole team to perform very well.” We are working hard on it and I believe that men of AshantiGold will deliver.

I am hopeful that before the season starts everyone in the team including myself will be settled so that we have a good start next season.”

Akonnor also spoke on the fact that the team needed new players on board improve their chances of having a better season.
