Berekum Chelsea have sanctioned Jordan Opoku's move to Asante Kotoko - paving the way for the midfielder's return to the Kumasi-based club.
The 27-year-old is set to return to the Porcupine Warriors haven spent a little over a year with the Blues.
Opoku incurred the wrath of club officials after leaving the Ghana Premier League champions as a free agent for a brief stint with Albanian club Dinamo Tirana in 2011.
The Ghana international is now set for a return following the resignation of Kotokoââ¬â¢s Executive Chairman Dr. Desmond Sarpong who swore not to resign the midfielder.
Chelseaââ¬â¢s chief executive Nana Kwame Nketia now confirms talks are far advanced to have Opoku rejoin his former club.
ââ¬ÅWe will give him to Kotoko,â⬠Nketia told Accra-based Peace FM.
ââ¬ÅTalks are far advanced and the player wishes to join Kotoko so we want to grant him his wishes.
ââ¬ÅThe deal is about 70 percent complete and we are sure ab agreement will be struck very soon.ââ¬
Kotoko are reportedly paying $45,000 (GHâ90,000) for the return of Jordan Opoku as they look to strengthen in all departments ahead of the Premier League defence and their return to the CAF Champions League.
