His agent, Daniel Tackie has described Eastern Company SC as an unprofessional club after they failed to fulfil their promise.
“Afutu was Eastern company’s best player but the club is unprofessional, they weren’t paying Afutu that’s why the player is back to Ghana,” he told Accra-based Happy FM.
“We have reported the issue to FIFA. Afutu is currently a free agent,” he added.
Daniel Tackie also stated that there haven’t been any talks with both Accra Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko for Benjamin Afutu.

Afutu broke the hearts of Hearts of Oak fans when he left the club. He was the main man in the club’s midfield when they won the Ghana Premier League and the FA Cup. After his departure, the club struggled to find his replacement.
Some fans believe that if he had not left, the club would not have been eliminated from the CAF Champions League and Confederation Cup early.
Afutu has now joined the list of Ghanaian players who signed for an Egyptian club and terminated their contract.
