Deputy Operation Manager for Kumasi Asante Kotoko Alhaji Ali Maradona has prophesied that their arch rivals Accra Hearts of Oak will end their 8 year long awaited league tittle after ten years.

Ali Maradona told Accra based "Montie Fm" that Kotoko will not buy "overage" players and insisted that the Phobians will end their league tittle drought after a decade.

"Asante Kotoko will not buy overage players, I will not advice Kotoko to buy 38 and 42 year old players, at the end how many years can the player play for the team. I have said several times that Hearts will not win the league for 10 years, Is something that is visible, they are in their 7th year now, they can go and purchase Cristiano Ronaldo unless the 10 years is over." He prophesied.

However, Ali Maradona debunks claims that no Kotoko players have been put on transfer list.

"The coach said there are positions he needs new players, if the coach can't work with a player, we speak to the player in close doors, that is our new system, In Ghana when a player is listed on a transfer he is labelled as surplus to requirement and that destroy the players career." He asserted.

Both Kotoko and Hearts are preparing for the upcoming Ghalca 6 tournament.
