Moneybags Legon Cities seem to be taking away everything that Kumasi Asante Kotoko likes and wants as they first have stolen a march on the porcupine warriors by signing Asamoah Gyan.

The porcupine warriors were very interested in the former Ghana captain but could not reach an agreement with the player and his entourage.

Legon Cities are on the verge of signing talented young sensation Mathew Anim Cudjoe as part of the Asamoah Gyan deal.

Anim Cudjoe last season underwent a one week trials with UEFA Champions League champions Bayern Munich.

The talented teenager last season played on loan with Kumasi Asante Kotoko but the club has so far failed to reach an agreement with the player ans his representatives.

Mathew Anim Cudjoe shares the same agent with former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan and they are all set to play for Legon Cities in the upcoming Ghana Premier League season.

The sensational winger played six games for Kotoko last season in the truncated 2019/2020 Ghana Premier League season scoring once with most of them coming from the bench.
