Eric Amponsah revealed what Agab told him in an interview on Kessben FM in Kumasi.
“Agab said he has to play for Kotoko because Kotoko is huge. It is not always about the money but the name”, Eric said exactly what Agab told him.
Ramadan Agab is a very versatile player who in his career, has played as a right midfielder, right back, centre forward and all the other positions except centre-back and goalkeeping roles.
He has won 54 caps and scored 7 goals for the Sudanese national team.
