In a surprising turn of events, former Asante Kotoko striker Francis Andy Kumi has signed a two-year deal with Medeama SC, bypassing a near agreement with Hearts of Oak just 48 hours prior. This move by Medeama SC, known for their strategic acquisitions, marks a significant boost to their squad ahead of the upcoming season.

Kumi, who previously scored nine goals for Kotoku Royals in the 2022-23 Ghana Premier League season, made a brief move to Serbian side FK Radniki Nis, where he became the club’s top scorer despite their relegation. After a stint with OFK Vrsac in Serbia, Kumi returns to the Ghana Premier League as a free agent.

His addition is expected to strengthen Medeama’s attacking lineup as they gear up for both the Ghanaian league and FA Cup competitions.
