Asante Kotoko have opened negotiations with Golden Kick FC over the potential signing of their standout midfielder Dacosta Owusu, following his impressive performances in the 2024/25 MTN FA Cup.
The 21-year-old playmaker was a driving force behind Golden Kick’s fairytale run to the FA Cup final, showcasing his creativity, composure, and attacking vision throughout the tournament. Owusu caught the eye once more in the final against Kotoko on Sunday, playing a key role before his side narrowly lost 2-1 after conceding a controversial stoppage-time penalty.
Sources close to the two clubs indicate that Kotoko are preparing an official bid to acquire the talented number 10, and Golden Kick are open to letting their star midfielder leave—but only if their valuation is met.
Kotoko, who secured a return to continental football via their FA Cup victory, view Owusu as a strategic reinforcement for their 2025/26 CAF Confederation Cup campaign. His addition would significantly boost their creative options in midfield and inject youthful energy into a squad aiming to rebuild under coach Abdul Karim Zito.
Owusu’s rise has not gone unnoticed across the domestic league, with many tipping him as one of Ghana’s brightest young prospects. His blend of technical skill, dribbling, and ability to create chances under pressure makes him an ideal fit for Kotoko’s attacking setup.
Negotiations are expected to advance in the coming days as the Porcupine Warriors look to finalize a deal before preseason preparations begin. The potential signing underlines Kotoko’s intent to strengthen key areas as they set their sights on domestic dominance and a deep continental run next season.
