If I have an agreement, I agree what I promise and it is very boring for Sirius to do that,\u201d Marie Strand, who is representing the coach\u2019s family in the case, told Swedish tabloid, Expressen.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Kumasi-based academy are also pushing Sirius to settle them as the right owners of the Sarfo.<\/p>\n<p>It was Strand who took the young player from the academy to Sweden where he stayed with the Swedish coach\u2019s family for several months at Vellinge before they made him join Sirius IF.<\/p>\n<p>The 21-year-old offensive midfielder has been in top form in the Swedish League over the past year and was invited for Ghana\u2019s 2019 AFCON qualifier against Ethiopia but declined the invitation because he had already submitted his document for a change in nationality in order to represent Sweden.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 4 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports News of Friday, 15 September 2017 Source: Graphic.com.gh 2017-09-15 Kingsley Sarfo &#13; Former Accra Great Olympics coach, Tom Strand and Golden Boot Academy a third-tier team in Kumasi, are in a hot tussle with Sirius IF over the transfer fee of Ghanaian midfielder Kingsley Sarfo who joined Swedish champions, Malmo FF this summer.
