This is part of a move to restructure the club as the contracts of Agyare, Bonney, Arthur and Traoré were not renewed due to non-performance.

The quartet managed just 14 appearances between them in the truncated 2019/2020 season.

For Esso, the Phobians couldn't come into agreement with their key striker after the gap in valuation of the signing on fee.

Esso scored three goals in 14 appearances for the Phobians in the canceled 2019/20 season.

The Accra based club have kicked off their rebuilding process after signing prodigy Isaac Mensah.
