EXCLUSIVE: Asante Kotoko Open Talks with Nations FC Over Defender Razak Simpson

Asante Kotoko have made an official approach to Nations FC in a bid to sign their influential centre-back, Razak Simpson, ahead of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season.

The Porcupine Warriors are keen on strengthening their defensive setup after an inconsistent campaign, and Simpson has emerged as a top target. Known for his composure, leadership, and aerial prowess, the Nations FC captain has impressed many observers, playing a pivotal role in the club's debut season in the top flight.

According to close sources, Kotoko have initiated contact with Nations FC’s hierarchy to discuss the possibility of a deal. While no agreement has been reached yet, talks are said to be progressing steadily, with Kotoko hoping to finalize the transfer before pre-season begins.

Simpson, who is also attracting interest from rival club Hearts of Oak, is reportedly open to a move to Kumasi, but will allow both clubs to handle negotiations first. He has one year remaining on his current deal with Nations FC.

This potential move is seen as a step by Kotoko to inject leadership and experience into their backline as they prepare for a fresh start under new management. More developments are expected in the coming days.
