Newly-signed Asante Kotoko striker Sarfo Taylor speaks on dream move

New Asante Kotoko striker, Solomon Sarfo Taylor has expressed his excitement after joining the club.

The Porcupine Warriors on Monday, March 15, 2021, announced the signing of former Karela United striker Solomon Sarfo Taylor on a three-and-half year deal.

The lethal forward signed the dotted lines after successfully passing his mandatory medicals.

Sarfo Taylor joins the Porcupines with immeasurable experience, having among other things, led Karela United to the final of the Normalisation Committee Tier-One Cup which Kotoko won on penalties.

The 22-year-old joins Johnson Smith’s side on a free transfer having left Danish side Vendsyssel FF and is expected to add more bite to the Reds attack in the second round of the season and beyond.

“I am very happy to be here. It has been a long dream and I think this is the right time for me to make the move,” he told Kotoko Express after his signing.

“I am joining an amazing group of players and I am confident that I would also contribute my part to take this historic club to places.”

Sarfo Taylor was instrumental for Karela United in the Special Competition in 2019, netting five times in the competition as his partnership with Diawisie Taylor earned them a second-place finish after losing the finals to Asante Kotoko at the Baba Yara Stadium and is expected to be a great addition to Kotoko.

He replaces Kwame Opoku, who is on his way to Algerian giants USM Alger.
