Hearts of Oak Back off From $42,000 Tagged Kotoko�s Yahaya Mohammed

Accra Hearts of Oak have lost interest in signing Kumasi Asante Kotoko midfielder Yahaya Mohamed after the Porcupine Warriors put a hefty GhC 80,000 ($42,000) price tag on the nimble footed midfielder who is now surplus to requirements in Kotoko. �Kotoko do not want to sell the boy to us,� a management member of the Phobians, who pleaded anonymity told Goal.com Ghana. �I heard Medeama and Ashgold are also after him that his why they are mentioning those huge figures.� �Such things should not be done as we must put the boy first rather than relying on this old age Kotoko-Hearts rivalry. It is not done in Europe; you saw that Arsenal sold [Robin] Van Persie to Manchester.� �We have no interest in him again unless Kotoko reduce the price,� the management member added. The former Tema Youth and OJ Nice player is desperate to leave the Ghana Glo Premier League after failing to cement a permanent place in the team and he is eyeing a move away from the club.
