Ghana giants Asante Kotoko have released their prolific striker, Albert Amoah to Libyan powerhouse Al Ahly Benghazi.

The 23-year-old striker has enjoyed a blistering form with the record Ghana Premier League holders since signing for them from Great Olympics.

Amoah scored 16 goals in 30 appearances for Kotoko

Amoah scored 16 goals in 30 league appearances for Kotoko, confirming his status as the club’s lethal striker.

Amoah scored two goals in four appearances during the CAF Confederation Cup preliminary rounds, despite Kotoko’s eventual elimination.

His performances did not go unnoticed, as Al Ahly moved swiftly to secure his signature amid reported interest from clubs in North Africa and the Middle East.

The move represents a major step in Amoah’s career as he joins one of Libya’s most successful clubs, who are regular participants in CAF inter-club competitions.

Kotoko are expected to begin the search for a replacement as they continue to rebuild for the ongoing campaign.

Kotoko suffered a 1-0 loss in Ghana before crushing by 5-1 at the Mohammed V Stadium in the return leg of the second Preliminary round of the CAF Confederation Cup to complete a 6-1 aggregate score line.
