He played 26 games in all for Allies during a two-season spell before moving abroad.<\/p>\n<p>kick442.com understands the player&#8217;s transfer and annual earnings can cost Cotonsport close to ten Millions FCFA for the first season and a reasonable ad-on in the second season.<\/p>\n<p>Kwabena, who is currently a free agent was part of the Ghana U-20 side that beat Uganda to lift the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Mauritania.<\/p>\n<p>It is our understanding that talks are ongoing to determine personal terms after which the player will join the Cotonites on a two-year contract.<\/p>\n<p>The 1.91M tall defender is expected to partner Che Malone at the defence if he stays, but can be an immediate replacement in the event of Malone&#8217;s departure.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Copyright\u00a92023 kick442.com-Cameroon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All rights reserved.
