Albert Amoah’s Exit To Al Ahly Benghazi Could Be A Big Blow To Asante Kotoko At A Crucial Stage

Albert Amoah’s departure from Asante Kotoko to Libyan side Al Ahly Benghazi comes at a critical point in the  Ghana Premier League season when the Porcupine Warriors need their most reliable finisher the most.

Amoah, who joined Kotoko ahead of the 2024/25 campaign, quickly became the team’s main attacking threat.

His consistency in front of goal, composure under pressure, and ability to deliver in big moments turned him into a fan favourite and one of the most talked-about players in the league.

He won the Player of the Month for October last year after scoring four goals in five games and later bagged a hat-trick against Medeama SC that reignited Kotoko’s title hopes.

His late winner against Berekum Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final also secured Kotoko’s place in the final.

Last season, Amoah had netted 12 league goals and three FA Cup goals, finishing as the club’s top scorer.

His performances caught the attention of scouts across Africa, eventually leading to his move to Al Ahly Benghazi.

However, Amoah’s exit leaves a significant gap in Kotoko’s attack.

He was the club’s main source of goals and often rescued them in tight games.

With no direct replacement of his calibre currently in the squad, Kotoko risk losing their attacking rhythm and momentum at a time when every point matters.

Losing such an influential player mid-season could affect team morale, finishing power, and even the club’s chances of competing for both league and FA Cup glory.

Amoah’s move may be a personal step forward in his career, but for Kotoko, it could be losing their best attacker when the battle is still on.

End.
