Hasaacas striker Eric Bekoe has revealed Hearts turned down the offer to sign him because he ever played for rivals Kotoko, lashing out at the club's 'unprofessional' conduct.

Bekoe who nearly landed a move to the former African champions had to settle for Hasma after the move hit a snag.

GHANAsoccernet.com revealed last month that Hearts decided against signing the goal poacher due to his previous affiliation with the Porcupine Warriors.

Bekoe has breath life into GHANAsoccernet.com's revelation and confirmed the reasons for his botched move to the capital-based side was not based on footballing reasons.

'So I called my agent and asked him if he has read what is on the internet. And he was like, yeah, I just saw it. I'm also surprised,' he told Takoradi-based Empire FM.

'Let me call Frank Nelson and ask him what is going on because they [hearts of oak board] told us they were going to get back to us.

'After speaking to him {Frank Nelson}, he told me, man your boy's [Samuel Yeboah] issue has created a big problem in the management.

'Now it seems half side wants them to sign the boy, the other side too doesn't want Eric to play."

He further revealed: 'They were thinking I have played Kotoko before so I won't give my best when they sign me.' He told 'And you know in a professional league, I don't see why people should think like that.

'You can't be working at ECG and be taking your salary from Ghana water and Sewage Corporation.

'If I'm playing for hearts of oak and I'm to meet Kotoko, why shouldn't I give my best?'

'I'm being paid by Hearts of Oak, so I have to do everything possible to give hearts of oak a reason why they bought me.

'I'm a fan of kotoko but that doesn't mean when I get kotoko I have to be lenient with them. I'm in for business and when it's business time, it's business'."
