PFAG raises concern over Albert Amoah’s move to Libya

The Head of Player Relations at the Professional Footballers Association of Ghana (PFAG), Yusif Chibsah, has expressed concern over Albert Amoah’s recent transfer to Libyan side Al Ahli Benghazi.

Amoah completed the move shortly after Asante Kotoko’s 5–1 defeat to Wydad Athletic Club in the second leg of their CAF Confederation Cup tie, a timing that surprised both the club’s fans and followers of Ghanaian football.

Speaking to Sporty FM, Chibsah, a former Black Stars midfielder, cautioned that many Ghanaian players moving to North African clubs often do so at a stage that may hinder their development.

“Most players who move to North Africa do so at the wrong time, and that is why they struggle,” he said. “I wish Albert Amoah well, but it will be difficult.”

Amoah, who joined Kotoko from Great Olympics last season, quickly became one of the team’s standout performers. He played 30 matches, scoring 16 goals, and emerged as a reliable forward for the club.

On the continental stage, he also impressed, netting twice in four CAF Confederation Cup preliminary round matches, although Kotoko was ultimately eliminated from the competition.

Asante Kotoko confirms Albert Amoah’s move to Libyan side Al Ahli Benghazi

Asante Kotoko has confirmed the permanent transfer of striker Albert Amoah to Libyan outfit Al Ahli Benghazi.

In a statement released on Friday night, the Ghana Premier League giants said: “We can confirm the permanent transfer of forward Albert Amoah to Libyan side AL AHLY BENGHAZI.”

“Asante Kotoko is grateful to Albert for his services to the club and his achievements with us. We wish him the very best for the future.”

The announcement came just two hours after Kotoko suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat to Morocco’s Wydad Athletic Club in the second leg of the CAF Confederation Cup final round in Casablanca, a loss that sealed a 6-1 aggregate exit following a 1-0 first-leg defeat at home.

Amoah departs as Kotoko’s leading scorer, having netted four goals in five matches this season.

The former Great Olympics forward enjoyed a productive 2024–25 campaign, scoring 12 goals in 28 league appearances, and was expected to build on that form.

On the continental stage, Amoah made his mark with two goals in four appearances during the CAF Confederation Cup preliminary rounds, despite Kotoko’s early exit.

With Amoah’s departure, the responsibility of leading the Porcupine Warriors’ attack now falls to Guinean striker Donzo Morifing, who is yet to find the net in seven appearances across all competitions.
