Ghana winger Cofie Bekoe has told GHANAsoccernet.com he rejected a contract extension from Petrojet as he bids to move to Europe.

Bekoe, nicknamed ”Africa Messi”, has been a revelation since joining the Suez-based side in 2009 from Ghanaian side Tema Youth.

The 22-year-old has been the wish list of several clubs but Petrojet have vowed to hold on to him.

In an exclusive he told GHANAsoccernet.com: “I want to try future elsewhere so I snubbed a new offer from Petrojet. The club have very nice people. Good fans, excellent management and fantastic coach but I want to move on after my contract expires so i did not extend the deal.”
