Chief Operating Officer (CEO) OF Berekum Chelsea, Obed Nana Kwame Nketiah in a radio interview with Kumasi based Boss FM has confirmed the club has replied suitors of striker, Saddick Adams with the asking price to meet to secure the services of their star man.

Adams since his return to the Ghana Premier League from unsuccessful stints abroad has been in red-hot form for the Berekum based club and this has not gone unnoticed with notably Ghana’s two biggest clubs – Kumasi Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak sniffing at the possibility of signing the former Ghana U20 forward.

Nana Nketiah told Boss FM, “the price tag for Adams is not what the media has been circulating around as that amount is way below the value of our prized assset. Saddick is valued at €100,000 and and not Ghc100,000 as that amount would have been met by some clubs long ago.”

“Saddick Adams at the moment is Euro bound as the summer transfer window is set to open in June and ghanaian clubs will have to compete with the foreign interest in him (Adams) and whoever meets the asking price that is fine.”
