Asante Kotoko's hopes to sign three Ivorian players for next season could be dashed due to high demands by their club Africa Sports.
Frederick Guou Blagnon, Kouakou Sarge and Balhben Adama have been training with the club for the past two weeks and have impressed in two friendly matches.
Reports from Kumasi say the club do not have the funds to secure the trio.
Striker Ahmed Toure also an Ivorian has been a hit at the club.
