Bankroller of Ghana Premier League side, King Faisal Babies, Alhaji Karim Grusah, has blasted champions Kumasi Asante Kotoko for printing the image of the club's patron, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II on their new jersey.

Asante Kotoko unveiled their new jersey this week with the image of Otumfuo boldly imprinted on the jersey, as they celebrate his Royal Majesty.

Alhaji Grusah, who was speaking on Kessben FM in Kumasi, described the move by the Porcupine Warriors as primitive and uncivilized.

"It's uncivilized to have put Otumfuo on the Kotoko jersey. In fact, it's a village thing. Otumfuo is more than that,” he said on Kessben FM as quoted by Pulse.

“Otumfuo does not go to war and lose. Maybe these Ashantis don't know how Otumfuo is valued. Who does not know Otumfuo is the owner of the club?

“Which team does this in the world? We put sponsors on jerseys. This is not maturity, they've already done it but they can go back and change.”

The Ghana Premier League champions are set to leave the country to start their pre-season in Turkey. The Reds will be hoping to defend the title won last season.

Meanwhile, King Faisal, who escaped the drop last season have started their pre-season in Ghana.
