He told the GNA Sports in Kumasi that for now they are  looking for more potent attackers, left wingers and quality and  dependable defenders to beef up the team. \u201cThe Board and Management are  being cautious in the recruitment of players because they want to avoid  the past mistake of en masse hiring, where many of them eventually  became redundant.\u201d<br \/>\nMr Nti spoke of series of friendly  football matches that Kotoko have lined up against teams like Tema  Youth, Olympics and B.A. Stars to keep the players in good shape before  the commencement of the Premier League.<br \/>\nThe Club will also  host Africa Sports of Cote d\u2019Voire in an international friendly, which  is expected to be graced by His Majesty the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei  Tutu II.
