Agent comments on Pirates target’s future

The agent of Songne Yacouba says the striker is focused on recovering from his injury to get back on the field and play for his ‘beloved’ Asante Kotoko.


Yacouba has been linked with various African clubs including Orlando Pirates, Zesco United and Zamalek.

The latest reports suggest that the striker has signed a pre-contract with Pirates and will join the Buccaneers in the new season.

Yacouba’s agent, Jesse Jantuah, however, insists the Burkina Faso international is committed to Kotoko but will consider good offers if the club is willing to sell him.

“Yacouba has been going for check-ups daily and he is hoping to recover in time to start playing for his beloved club,” Jantuah told Ash FM in Ghana.
