South African side Maritzburg United has denied reports that they are set to sign Ghana goalkeeper Felix Annan from Asante Kotoko.

According to reports in the local media, Maritzburg have been in touch to sign the player as a replacement his Black Stars teammate Richard Ofori.

Ofori is expected to leave at the end of the season with giants Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns interested in acquiring his services.

However, Maritzburg chairman Farook Kadodia has described the reports as false, claiming the club haven’t spoken to Kotoko or anybody about Annan.

"It's not true, all I can tell you at the moment we have space to look at him[Felix Annan] that only we will look at him but we haven't spoken to anybody or the club [Kotoko]," he told Ashh FM in Kumasi.

Annan has been Kotoko’s safest pair of hands for the last three seasons but has lost his position to Kwame Baah who looks to be the favourite of coach Maxwell Konadu.
