Fatau Dauda explains why his move to Asante Kotoko failed

Ex-Ghana goalkeeper, Fatau Dauda has disclosed how his proposed move to Asante Kotoko prior to the season hit a snag.

Dauda, 36, was hugely linked with a move to the Porcupine Warriors during the second window of the ongoing Ghana Premier League in January.

But, the deal fell through at the last hour when several reports had indicated that the former Legon Cities shot-stopper had signed a six-month contract with Kotoko.

Dauda who was part of Ghana’s team at the 2014 FIFA World Cup has given details about why the move failed.

“Of I’m an experienced goalkeeper and my presence could’ve done a lot for the team even in terms of serving as a motivation for some of the players. But, I think there was some displeasure from certain quarters of the supporters of the club. If you look at how important club fans are, you can’t underrate that,” he said on Angel TV.

“So it ended up that we had to shelve the plans in order not to spark any unrest within the supporters,” he added.

Dauda has had stints with Orlando Pirates, Chippa United, AshantiGold, and Enyimba FC of Nigeria.
