Yacouba Sogne’s agent backtracks on termination of Kotoko contract comment
30th July 2019
Agent of Asante Kotoko striker Sogne Yacouba, Gyasi Jantuah has made U-turn on a statement he made earlier this week where he stated his client is interested in terminating his contract with the Porcupine Warriors.
According to Jantuah, his use of the word ‘terminate’ was taken out of context, which inevitably has led him to speak again and clarify things.
“If you listened to it carefully, I meant to say he wants to finish his contract with Kotoko, that was where I used the word “terminate” his contract with Kotoko”, Jantuah told Focal Sports on Tuesday.
“We were having a conversation, normal conversation talking about Yacouba then I said, the lad loves Kotoko, every time that’s how we create stories against him but he wants to finish his contract with Kotoko, I even continued to say he might have a change of mind and renew his contract with Kotoko and that would excite me”, he clarified.
Yacouba has been a demand for several top clubs on the continent with South African giants Orlando Pirates and Sudanese giants Al Hilal heavily linked.
Kotoko for their part, are ready to offload the former Stade Malien striker at the right price having already acquired Ugandan striker George Abege from Kenyan side Kariobangi Sharks as well as former Lobi Stars Ivorian attacker Adingra Moussa.
