Medeama midfielder, Justice Blay will have to fight for his place in the team if he ends up staying at the Tarkwa based club according to his manager Samuel Boadu as Kotoko have been heavily linked with a move.

“Should Justice Blay return to Medeama SC again, he has to justify himself well else he will not get into the first team”, the coach told Pure FM in an interview on Tuesday.

Blay was farmed out on loan to Asante Kotoko for the 2019/2020 league season where he excelled heavily for the porcupine warriors who want him to make a return.

After his loan spell the central midfielder returned to his parent club Medeama but Kotoko is intent on signing the midfielder but the money being demanded by the mauves and yellows is scaring the club away.

Reports indicate that Medeama is asking for a prohibitive GHC100,000 for a 28 year old midfielder a figure Kotoko have balked at.

The player for now remains on the books of Medeama unless Kotoko can get back to the negotiating table with Medeama to complete the player's signing.

It is believed Kotoko are not the only club in the running for Justice Blay as some foreign clubs are also after him.
