Sarfo Duku fires warning to Asante Kotoko players as he backs Eric Tinkler for GPL success

Sarfo Duku, former Asante Kotoko Communications Director, believes head coach Eric Tinkler still has a realistic chance of guiding the Porcupine Warriors to the Ghana Premier League title. Speaking in an exclusive interview with Luv FM, Duku acknowledged that the timing of Tinkler's appointment and the club's injury concerns make the task difficult, stating, "It will be difficult for Eric Tinkler to win the league this season, considering the timing and injuries."

Duku stressed that Kotoko's fortunes could change if the players demonstrate greater commitment and adopt the right mentality. Eric Tinkler recently took charge of the record Ghana Premier League champions and has been tasked with restoring the club's title ambitions. His arrival comes at a crucial stage of the season, with Kotoko battling injuries to key players ahead of the 2026/27 season. Sarfo Duku also hinted that he strongly advocated for the appointment of a foreigner due to indiscipline in the camp of Asante Kotoko before his departure. Asante Kotoko SC will begin their season with a trip to newly promoted Debibi United FC in the Ghana Premier League in early September before hosting Hearts of Lions.
