Former Ashantigold striker Shafiu Mumuni has been linked with a move to Kumasi Asante Kotoko but his representative Ebo Kwaitoo has rubbished those reports.

The player's agent has admitted that they have in the past talked to Asante Kotoko but presently no talks about his client with Kotoko has been initiated.

According to his agent there are numerous offers from all over the world for his client and that they are no longer interested in any local club as none of them can afford the player.

He says but for the coronavirus and its related travel restrictions, the player would have been playing in Europe.

"It is not true we are in negotiations with Kotoko for a possible move.

We held talks sometime back and informed them we have options in Europe,North Africa and Asia and as far as we are concerned nothing has changed,we are still focused." he told Kumasi FM

He adds that Kotoko must come up with a mouth watering offer to be able to convince his client to sign for them.

"If Kotoko still has interest in him to convince him to play then they have to come with a better offer that supercede our expectations as compared to the foreign ones.

I met Nana Yaw Amponsah sometime back but nothing concrete was decided because it was not part of our options hence we saw it as premature."

"Shafiu would have signed for an European club had it not been the closure of boarders at Spain to African countries.We had an offer from Apollon Smyrnis in Greece two weeks ago but they failed to give the visa due to the EU restrictions.We have other options all over the world;Asia,North Africa etc.

Shafiu lost interest in the local league in January so if something must compel him to play then it has to be an extraordinary offer."

"So far we have engaged more than hundred agents looking for Shafiu but we want the best for him.No Ghanaian club can meet the offer from these clubs.

Young Africans in Tanzania were ready to offer $50,000 signing on fee and $5,000 monthly salary," he added.
