Former Asante Kotoko midfielder Michael Akuffu has said he joined the club because of love for the team and not money.
Akuffu joined Kotoko from Feyenoord Academy [Now WAFA] alongside teammates Awal Mohammed and Yaw Frimpong and played for them from 2011-2017.

At Kotoko, Akuffu was described as one of the best defensive midfielders in the country and helped the team to win four Ghana Premier League titles and an FA Cup trophy.
He become the fans favorite at a point in time due to his spectacular form for the Porcupines.
Years after leaving the club, the 32-year old has come out to hit the nail right on the head that he joined Kotoko not because of money.

According to Akuffu, before signing for Kotoko, the President of Medeama, Moses Armah Parker wanted to hijack the deal by inviting him and other two players for a meeting in Accra.
He disclosed that Moses Armah Parker was willing to give them any amount and other luxurious packages but they refused since they were much interested in playing for Kotoko than any other club.
“I love Kotoko even when I was at Feyenoord Academy so when Moses Parker wanted to hijack our deal to Kotoko, we refused because we were much interested in joining Kotoko than any other club”, Akuffu told Angel FM in Kumasi.

“Moses Parker invited Awal Mohammed, Yaw Frimpong and myself for the meeting but despite all the lucrative offers he tabled, we refused because we were interested in joining Kotoko than any other club”, he added.
