The poor recruitment by Kotoko and Hearts has affected the League

The head coach of the second division club, Ashanti Gold, has revealed the reason local players within the country have lost a place in the national team. According to the 44 years old gaffer, the quality in the league has dropped down due to the method of recruitment from the two biggest clubs in the country (Accra Hearts of Oak and Kumasi Asante Kotoko), hence it will be very difficult for players to get a slot in the current Blackstars team.

“The poor recruitment by Kotoko and Hearts has accounted for their abysmal performance in the league. Most of their new signings are free agents who are not exceptional in any way unlike what they used to do in times past,”- he said.

He later added that he believes now the narrative has changed on how big players move only to Hearts and Kotoko but now every team is capable of grabbing a top player in the league.

“I agree with the assertion that these two teams lack quality. Their low quality has affected their call-ups into the national teams. Gone were the days when Kotoko and Hearts became the destination for most of the known quality players in the local scene, now the situation is entirely different.”- he added.
