GFA To Arbitrate In Taylor-Transfer Saga

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) may yet again be required to arbitrate in the Charles Taylor saga. This follows the failure of an earlier ruling by the GFA to effectively settle the raging impasse between Hearts and Kotoko.

Charles Taylor says Hearts should respect his wish to play for archrivals Kumasi Asante Kotoko and should therefore release his card to the porcupine warriors. This is the latest twist in the now protracted transfer saga involving the two-time Ghanaian footballer of the year.

Taylor told Joy FM that his decision to play for Kotoko is not amendable. He also accused Hearts of Oak of trying to ruin his career.

The Phobians have bluntly refused to hold talks with Kotoko.
