\n
Kumasi Asante Kotoko midfielder Baba Yahaya has admitted that he didn\u2019t impress during his debut season with the club.<\/p>\n
The talented youngster joined the Porcupine Warriors from King Faisal last year to strengthen the team.<\/p>\n
Although he scored two goals and provided five assists in 25 Premier League matches, Yahaya acknowledges that he did not meet expectations.<\/p>\n
The attacking midfielder has assured Asante Kotoko fans that he will work diligently to perform better for the team in the next season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t live up to the supporters\u2019 expectations because I know my capabilities. Every first season comes with its challenges, but I hope to meet the expectations from the second season onwards. I will work hard for this,\u201d said Yahaya.<\/p>\n
The midfielder and his Asante Kotoko teammates are set to resume training on Friday, June 28, in preparation for the Democracy Cup match against Hearts of Oak.<\/p>\n
The match is scheduled to take place at the Accra Sports Stadium on July 5.<\/p>\n
