Depay then disclosed plans to organize a friendly between Kotoko and the Brazilian outfit.
“I like what I see, and I will urge you to keep going. Never give up. I respect all of you guys. I’m trying to raise something for the team to maybe play a friendly game against my team (Corinthians) in Brazil. It’s in the plans, so let’s hope we can make it happen so that you guys can showcase your talent,” he said.
Asante Kotoko will play host to Bibiani Goldstars in matchday 15 of the domestic top-flight at the Baba Yara Stadium on Friday.
