Asante Kotoko management member Nana Coker has dispelled circling reports that striker Songne Yacouba has been included in their squad for the trip to London to face Hearts of Oak.

Coker is reported to have told Kumasi-based Light FM.

Yacouba, who is dragging his feet over a new contract, was frozen by head coach Maxwell Konadu.

But the Burkina Faso international recently returned to action and got some game time in the 1-0 at Karela United.

There have been speculations that the former poster boy has been added to the squad for next month's clash.
