Asante Kotoko striker Sogne Yacouba has been handed his maiden national team call-up.

The 27-year-old has been rewarded with invition into the Burkina Faso senior national side following his explosive performance in the ongoing Caf Confederation Cup with the Ghanaian giants.

He has bagged two goals with two assists for Asante Kotoko in their 2018/2019 CAF Confederation Cup campaign.

He also played in friendlies against Benin home and away.
