Administrative officer for South African club Orlando Pirate, Floyd Mbele has noted that the club is no more interested in signing Burkinabe striker Sogne Yacouba.
The Premier Soccer League (PSL) club made an approach to sign the attacker from Ghana Premier League giants Kumasi Asante Kotoko last year.
After failing to secure the signature of the highly-rated forward, they moved on. Some months later, Sogne Yacouba has become a free agent and could be easily poached by any club who is interested.
Pirates being one of the clubs that had shown interest in the past, it was expected that they will attempt to sign the striker.
According to Floyd Mbele of Orlando Pirates, however, the club has no intention of reinforcing its squad with Yacouba.
"Ja, [Pirates wanted to sign him] a long time ago," Mbele told KickOff.com. "No, I can't say that. I haven't kept tabs [on his situation]. No, [we haven't been tracking him recently]. There was contact with his representatives last year”, Mbele said.
Sogne Yacouba is currently without a club after rejecting a juicy offer from Medeama SC.
