I consider it unofficial because they (Kotoko) have not officially written to us but when they express interest we would also give them our terms,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Cobbinah has been exceptional in the ongoing WAFU Cup competition and his magnificent goal against Mali last Saturday\u2019s second Group A game has appreciated his value, with scouts watching the exploits of the Hearts midfielder wishing to cash in on the 25-year-old\u2019s form.<\/p>\n<p>Opare insisted that Hearts were going through a team-building process, with Cobbinah and Abbey forming an integral part of that, hence it would take something extra from their arch-rivals to be able to buy them.<\/p>\n<p>He said landing the signature of Cobbinah or Abbey would mean that the Porcupine Warriors are ready to make them the most expensive players ever in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf only Kotoko are ready to make Cobbinah the all-time most expensive player in the country then they may land his signature,\u201d the Hearts spokesperson added.<\/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 Wednesday, 20 September 2017 Source: Graphic.com.gh 2017-09-20 Winful Cobbinah &#13; Accra Hearts of Oak say it would take more than a fortune for arch-rivals Kumasi Asante Kotoko to price out their revered midfielder, Winful Cobbinah, from the club.
