Asante Kotoko chairman Dr. Desmond Sarpong has strongly dismissed talks linking midfielder Jordan Opoku with a return to the club. The 25-year-old schemed his way out of the Kumasi-based club as a free agent haven spent a little over two seasons with the Porcupine Warriors. The Kotoko top hieracrhy received a lot of flak then for allowing one of their most brilliant players to leave for free. Reports have however surfaced linking the Berekum Chelsea player to a return to the Premier League champions. But chairman Dr. Sarpong insists such a move will only happen �over his dead body� with the acrimonious departure of the former Fetteh Feyenoord star fresh in his mind. �I took Jordan (Opoku) to Serbia, and back, I knew his contract was going to end in October,� he told Kumasi-based Angel FM. �After September he was telling us his agent will see us and stuff by the time we realized he had signed for (Berekum) Chelsea. �I heard recently he wants to come back to Kotoko, over my dead body.� Opoku was one of the players that played in Berekum Chelsea�s maiden campaign in the CAF Champions League in 2012. The Ghana international has had past stints with Excelsior, Royal Antwerp and Dinamo Tirana.
