Chief Executive Officer of Simba SC, Senzo Mazingisa has revealed that the club has put negotiations with former Asante Kotoko forward Songné Yacouba on hold due to lack of transparency from the player’s camp.

Yacouba has been a free agent since leaving the Reds in April after unsuccessful attempts to renew his stay.

Reports were rife that the 28-year-old was close to joining the Tanzanian giants who expressed interest in securing his services.

But Simba SC – who were the first club, among many clubs, to approach Yacouba, have temporarily put negotiations on hold after they were approached by several agents claiming to be the player’s only representative.

“The player has approached us with so many agents each claiming he is the only agent and that is why we have put a stop in our negotiations,” Mazingisa told Mwanaspoti.

Yacouba joined Kotoko from Etoile Filante de Ouagadougou in 2018.

He made 7 appearances for the Porcupine Warriors in the 2019720 Ghana Premier League season before it was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
