Kotoko Announce Signing of 21-Year-Old Forward Dogo Yakubu
Asante Kotoko have confirmed the signing of 21-year-old forward Dogo Yakubu from MidCity Football Academy, adding a promising young talent to their roster. The forward, known for his speed, movement, and goal-scoring instincts, has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with the club, with high hopes placed on him to make an impact in the second half of the season.
Dogo Yakubu’s arrival at Kotoko marks a new chapter in his football career, as the young forward is eager to prove himself at the top level. “I’m still young, and I believe I have a huge chance here to make a name for myself,” Yakubu said in an exclusive interview with the club’s media team. “Joining Kotoko is a big opportunity for my career, and I’m grateful for the trust the club has shown in me. I’m ready to work hard, learn every day, and take my chances when they come. I want to improve, score goals, and help the team succeed.”
Asante Kotoko head coach Karim Zito expressed his confidence in Yakubu’s potential, explaining that the club sees this signing as part of a broader long-term plan. “This signing is part of our plan for the future. Dogo is young, hungry, and has the qualities we look for in a modern striker,” Zito said. “We believe in giving young players the right platform to develop, and this is the right environment for him to grow, gain confidence, and become an important player for the club over time.”
Dogo Yakubu’s arrival comes at a critical time for Kotoko, as the team looks to strengthen its attacking options ahead of the second half of the season. With his ability to create space and find the back of the net, Yakubu is expected to provide much-needed depth and competition in Kotoko’s offensive ranks. The forward’s dynamic playstyle makes him a threat both inside and outside the box, and fans are excited to see him in action at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
Having been developed at MidCity Football Academy, Yakubu’s rise through the ranks has been impressive, and his natural talent has not gone unnoticed. His speed on the ball and clinical finishing ability are qualities that have drawn attention from various clubs across the country. However, it was Kotoko who managed to secure his signature, and now he has the opportunity to develop under the tutelage of an experienced coaching staff.
