Asante Kotoko coach Charles Akunnor has expressed his optimism over their CAF Confederation Cup campaign.
Two weeks ago, it was agreed at a meeting between the Normalisation Committee and the leaders of clubs in Ghana not to participate in the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederations Cup.
However, the Porcupine Warriors petitioned the committee and asked them to allow the club to compete in the CAF Confederations Cup.
Charles Akunnor's side are aiming to augment their squad before embarking on the competition and reports suggest they are on the verge of signing Daniel Nii Adjei and Martin Antwi who are both free agents.
The duo have commenced training with the side as they bid to secure contracts ahead of the competition.
Here's what he had to say during an interview with Kumasi-based Oyerepa FM 100.7…
