Asante Kotoko, a prominent name in the Ghana Premier League, is preparing to bid farewell to Ugandan international striker Steven Desse Mukwala at the culmination of the current season, Ghana Soccernet reports.
The 24-year-old forward, who arrived at the Ghanaian club as a free agent in August 2022, has left an indelible mark during his tenure with the team.
With his contract expiring at the season’s end, Mukwala has opted not to extend his stay despite his noteworthy contributions to Asante Kotoko. Reports suggest that he has verbally agreed to join an Algerian club once his obligations with Kotoko are fulfilled. According to Transfermarkt the player’s current market value estimates at €175,000.
Throughout the current Ghana Premier League campaign, Mukwala has been a key figure for Asante Kotoko. His prowess in front of goal has been evident as he leads the team’s scoring charts with eight goals and one assist in 16 domestic top-flight appearances.
As news of Mukwala’s impending departure spreads, fans of Asante Kotoko are undoubtedly feeling a sense of loss for a player who has made a significant impact in a relatively short span. His goal-scoring abilities and overall influence have been instrumental in Kotoko’s league endeavors.
Currently occupying the fourth position in the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League standings after 18 matches, Asante Kotoko aims to finish the season strongly as they strategize to fill the void left by Mukwala’s departure.
