Kotoko complete striker Sadick Adams signing

Published on: 27 April 2011

Ghanaian giants Kotoko have announced that they have completed the signing of striker Sadick Adams on loan from Tunisian side Etoile du Sahel.

According to the club's official newspaper Kotoko Express, Adams has signed a three-month loan deal with the Porcupine Warriors.

Adams says despite signing for the fomer African chmapions for three months, he wants to join the players of the club to push the fortunes of the club to a higher level.

Adams has his work cut out for him after watching the Kotoko-Berekum Arsenal match at the Baba Yara Stadium last Sunday.

“I observed from the way the team played and the reaction of the supporters of the fans to the 2-1 victory for Kotoko that they were not too content with the number of goals scored”.

“Kotoko supporters I have observed have an insatiable appetite for goals and so they want the players to convert almost all the scoring chances that come the player’s way during matches,” he disclosed.

Much as the desire and expectations of the supporters is a potential cause of pressure on the players, the former Etoile du Sahel of Tunis striker says he was under no pressure from those expectations.

“The expectations of the fans are understandable and I associate myself with anything that we can do as a team to bring joy to the fans. They are great people and so their joy and satisfaction should always be our target”.

“That notwithstanding, I must say that their expectation does not bring any pressure to bear on me. What it rather does is that it has become a motivator in the essence that we players love to play when we have the assurance of a huge support base who will support you and turn up in their numbers to watch you play”.

On how he intends to integrate into the team in the shortest time since he has only three months to play before the end of the season, he had this to say.

“I have played with most of the players of Kotoko either at the junior national team or in our inter-area football matches so I know their style of play. I also understand that football is an international language that is spoken with strategies and rules so whatever the coaches teach us is what we will go onto the field to deliver”.

Before opting to play for Kotoko, news were rife of how Berekum Chelsea, Mediama and other premiership clubs were after him so what informed his choice of Kotoko over the others?

“Kotoko made a genuine offer that any player will not turn away from. Dr. K.K. Sarpong spoke truthfully and passionately with me and I could see his genuineness and goodwill of being a trustworthy person, so I chose Kotoko”.

“True to his words and assurances, Kotoko has taken very good care of me since my association with them. I am happy with the way I am being integrated into the family”.

“To all Kotoko fans, I can only assure you of one thing and that is the fact that I am a hard worker who is here to compliment the efforts my colleagues for the betterment of the club. They should also do their part by praying for the team as together, there would be no challenge that we cannot surmount,” he concluded.
