Asante Kotoko have moved to strengthen their attacking options with the signing of 21-year-old forward Dogo Yakubu, completing the deal during the ongoing winter transfer window.

The promising striker has put pen to paper on a three-and-a-half-year contract after successfully passing his medicals, committing his future to the Kumasi-based giants.

Yakubu arrives from Midcity Football Academy, where he honed his skills and gained valuable senior-level experience. For the young forward, the move represents a major step up and a chance to announce himself on one of Ghana’s biggest football stages.

“I’m still young, and I believe I have a huge chance here to make a name for myself,” Yakubu said after completing the transfer. “Joining Kotoko is a big opportunity for my career, and I’m grateful for the trust the club has shown in me.

“I’m ready to work hard, learn every day, and take my chances when they come. I want to improve, score goals, and help the team succeed.”

Head coach Karim Zito said the signing fits neatly into Kotoko’s long-term strategy of building around youthful, ambitious talent.

“This signing is part of our plan for the future,” Zito explained. “Dogo is young, hungry, and has the qualities we look for in a modern striker.

“We believe in giving young players the right platform to develop, and this is the right environment for him to grow, gain confidence, and become an important player for the club over time.”

Known for his pace, intelligent movement and eye for goal, Yakubu is viewed as a long-term attacking prospect as Kotoko continue to reshape their squad.

He becomes the Porcupine Warriors’ second signing of the January window, following the arrival of Prince Badu from Nations FC, as the club looks to add depth and fresh energy for the remainder of the season.
