Asante Kotoko have rejected a $300,000 offer from Orlando Pirates of South Africa for Songne Yacouba.

The South African side have shown much promised to buy the Burkinabe International from the Porcupines, but their $300,000 bid is well below the $600,000 valuation of the player.

Kotoko have however hinted in time past that they will not stand in the former Stade Malien forward's way should any club meet his value be.

He has been missing in action in the Normalization Committee's Special Competition for Kotoko due to an injury he is nursing.

Yacouba,27, produced a stellar performance for the Porcupines in their Africa campaign which has attracted a host of clubs interested in his services.

The Burkinabe import was one of the standout players in coach Charles Kwablan Akonnor's side in the 2018/2019 CAF Confederation Cup campaign, where he scored two goals, provided 5assists in nine appearances.

Songne Yacouba last month earned his fourth Burkinabe national team call-up for coach Paulo Duarte and the team's AFCON qualifier against Mauritania.

The 27-year-old marked his debut for the Stallions in an international friendly against Kazakhstan, climbing off the bench in their 0-0 draw at the Ortaliq stadium on May 12, 2015.

He also played in friendlies against Benin home and away.
