Asante Kotoko midfielder, Emmanuel Gyamfi says he will not force a move away from the club despite interest from Zambian powerhouse ZESCO United.
Following his impressive display in the CAF Confederations Cup, the 24-year-old has attracted an offer from Zesco United alongside poster boy Songne Yacouba.
But in an interview with Graphic Sports, the midfielder explained that it would be a dream come true for every player to pursue his career abroad when the opportunity availed itself but he wouldn’t force his way out.
Gyamfi, however, refused to rule out any possible move away from the Kumasi-based club when the right offer came but insisted that would happen with the blessing of the club.
“I read online that ZESCO is interested in me and Kotoko is insisting that they will consider negotiating with them to allow me to leave, but as I talk to you, no management member of the club has informed me about any move and I am committed to staying with Kotoko if the need be. I will never force a move away from the club because I need to have the club’s blessing when I’m leaving. That is not to say I won’t consider any deals when they arrive,” Gyamfi said.
Multiple reports have emerged that ZESCO United and other African clubs have expressed interest in signing him after a run of impressive performances for Kotoko.
When asked whether he had indeed received offers from such clubs, Gyamfi admitted to receiving several contacts from northern Africa clubs and European clubs but he was yet to enter into negotiations with any of them.
The sprinter added ”There have been several contacts from clubs within North Africa and Europe but I need to take my time to make a choice.”
