Orlando Pirates rules out move for ex-Kotoko star Songne Yacouba

Administrative officer for South African club Orlando Pirate, Floyd Mbele has revealed that they are no more interested in signing Burkinabe striker Sogne Yacouba.

The Premier Soccer League (PSL) club made an attempt to sign the attacker from Ghana Premier League giants Asante Kotoko last year.

After failing to secure the signature of the highly-rated forward, it was believed that they will make another attempt on him since he is now a free agent.

However, according to Floyd Mbele his outfit has no intentions 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.
