Coach Prosper Narteh Ogum finally reveals Kotoko’s target for the first round of the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League

Asante Kotoko coach Prosper Narteh Ogum has revealed that his side’s target is to be at the top of the league after the first round of the 2023–24 Ghana Premier League.

The Ghanaian giants have had a difficult start to the season after failing to win a single game in their first three games against Heart of Lions, GoldStars, and Karela United, respectively.

The record Premier League champions, however,  secured their first win on match-day 4 in a 1-0 victory against Accra Lions before picking up a second consecutive win over Aduana FC in Kumasi and a draw against Nations FC over the weekend.

They currently have 9 points out of a possible 18 after six rounds of matches in the Ghanaian top-flight.

However, the Porcupine Warriors boss expresses confidence in their chances of getting to the top of the log when the first round comes to a close, despite not being happy with losing half of the points after six games.

“I think as far as point accumulation is concerned, myself and the players are not happy because, if you look at it, it means we have given half of the points away. Looking at the games we have played and the creativity we have shown in front of goal, we shouldn’t be having 9 points,” Ogum told the club’s media.

“It is a learning curve, and looking at the remaining games, I think we should be able to win all these games and ensure that we will be at the top, where Kotoko is always known to be, and we must prove that we are the best.”

Kotoko will battle Bechem United in their next Premier League game at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday at 3 p.m.
