Asante Kotoko vs Esperance saga: Porcupines Warriors told to pay first

Former Asante Kotoko board member Ben Nti has advised the club to first comply with a Fifa order to pay a fine of $240,000 [€218,915] in relation to the signing of Emmanuel Clottey from Esperance before launching a complaint of their own against the Tunisian club.

The Ghanaian side has been instructed to pay up the amount after being found guilty of breaching transfer rules in acquiring the striker in 2015.

After signing Kwame Bonsu from the Porcupine Warriors last year for $150,000 [€136,829], Esperance also opted against paying up, instead deciding to offset the cost with part of Clottey's 2015 arrears and demanding $30,000 [€27,366] more from Kotoko to completely clear the striker's debt.
