Kotoko chief Edmund Ackah, speaking to GHANAsoccernet.com, denied reports that Asante Kotoko have been charged by Fifa to pay €153,000 to Espérance for the illegal registration of Emmanuel Clottey. "FIFA never stated anywhere that we should pay that money to Esperance," he explained. "What FIFA said was that Kotoko should ensure Emmanuel Clottey pays the charge of $180,000 for breach of contract," concludes the management member of the Porcupine Warriors.

What is certain, though, is that Fifa have issued their verdict. Whoever coughs the money for the illegal registration of Emmanuel Clottey remains secondary to Espérance! It is an issue the team and the player have to settle if they want to avoid further Fifa measures!
