K Sarpong, Dr. Kwame Baah Nuakoh and Patrick Ofori as well as Justin Addo, the Fifa match agent, who brokered the move.<\/p>\n

As the biggest club in Ghana, Kotoko has an astonishing eight million followers and the respective chairmen had fruitful discussions on how both clubs can work together in the future. The delegation toured the Black Cats\u2019 state of the art training facilities, meeting Steve Bruce and the players, including Sunderland\u2019s three Ghanaian internationals, Asamoah Gyan, Sulley Muntari and John Mensah.<\/p>\n

They also visited the Stadium of Light and the Sunderland chairman was delighted to spend time with them. He said: \u201cIt was a huge honour to welcome the Kotoko officials to our club. There\u2019s a tremendous passion for football in Ghana and I see a real synergy with Sunderland in that respect.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe could see that from watching Tuesday\u2019s friendly against England and of course the international sides\u2019 fantastic performance at the World Cup just what football means to the people of Ghana \u2013 there\u2019s an infectious enthusiasm about them that\u2019s wonderful to witness.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had an incredibly positive meeting with the chairman and senior officials and I feel privileged that they can see how their future development can be helped by what they can learn through us.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
