Kotoko Chief Samuel Opoku Nti has labeled reports linking star midfielder Michael Akuffo to Hearts as ââ¬Ëbogusââ¬â¢.
The 28-year-old has been linked with a sensational move to the Accra side as his contract runs out at the end of the current campaign.
However, Kotoko General Manager Samuel Opoku Nti, has laughed off the speculation and stressed that the story is palpably false.
ââ¬ÅMichael Akuffu has himself heard the news. He called me to ask what was happening,â⬠Nti told the clubââ¬â¢s official website.
ââ¬ÅHe was as shocked as we were. Our supporters shouldnââ¬â¢t get agitated over this report. It is not true that Akuffu is joining Hearts. Akuffu isnââ¬â¢t going anywhere.
He is our player. He is playing for us. Anybody who says he is leaving for Hearts is just bent on deceiving the public.ââ¬
Akuffo is arguably the clubââ¬â¢s most prized asset and has overly impressed since he joined the Ghanaian giants.
