“Yes it’s true Kotoko officials have spoken to me but at the moment I’m still a player of Hearts,” he told Cape Coast-based ATL FM

“I want to respect my contract and so they (Hearts) will decide my future.

“But of course football is my career and so it will be better to go to a place where you can get regular playing time. We have to wait and see how things go in the coming days.”
