Hearts of Oak defender Nuru Sulley has conceded that Asante Kotoko are clear winners of the 2013-14 season of the First Capital Plus Premier League.

The Porcupine Warriors have opened a 12-gap lead on the domestic top flight’s log after drawing with Ebusua Dwarfs in mid-week at home.

Sulley is convinced the Kumasi giants are runaway winners.

“Winning the league is almost impossible for Hearts of Oak, looking at the 12 points gap between Kotoko and us,” the Local Black Stars guardsman told Metro FM.

“All that we have to do now is to play very well and keep a chase on Kotoko to prevent them from winning the league with ease.”

Sulley and his team-mates will have to prepare for their next home game against Amidaus Professionals next week as beleaguered coach Mohammed Polo awaits his first home win.
