Special aide to Chief Executive Officer of Asante Kotoko, Nana Kwasi Gyambibi Coker says Simba SC have expressed interest about the availability Sogne Yacouba and Douglas Owusu.

The former Ghana Premier League champions were invited for an international friendly match by the Tanzanian giants as part of their annual Simba Day celebration.

The Porcupine Warriors held the hosts to a 1-1 stalemate at the Uhuru Stadium in Dar es Salaam on Wednesday afternoon.

Obed Owusu broke the deadlock of the game in front on the stroke of half-time after tapping in a rebound from Michael Donkor's shot before Emmanuel Okwi equalised for the hosts on the 77th minute.

Goalkeeper Felix Annan saved a crucial penalty by the 84th minute to save Kotoko from losing the game.

"Officials of Simba FC after the match asked about Sogne Yacouba's availability as well as Douglas Owusu and other players," Nana Kwasi Gyambibi Coker told Oyerepa FM.

"They told us we are going to hear from them very soon on one of these players. Other officials from Morocco and Cote d'Ivoire who were present also enquired about Sogne Yacouba especially."

"We won't be in a haste to do anything but will wait till we get an official bid from them and we take a decision."

"Am only an assistant to the Executive Chairman and so will report to him all that has happened."
