I did not train with Kotoko - Taylor

Troubled Accra Hearts of Oak ace striker, Charles Taylor, whose alleged move to Kotoko has rocked his former team, denied media reports that he trained with the fabulous club on Friday morning.

He told the GNA Sports at his Teshie, Twee Bleoo residence that he was dismayed at the report aired on Joy FM, an Accra-based radio station adding, "I have no idea where that story might have come from, since I'm presently in Accra".

The "dribbling wizard" explained that after the Hearts-Kotoko game in Kumasi some two weeks ago, which the Phobians bowed 0-2, "I have not made any trip to the Garden City".

"This is news to me and I'm highly disappointed at the information, the SWAG Footballer of the Year told the GNA Sports.

He appealed to the media to be circumspect in handling such "volatile" issues likely to worsen the already unhealthy rivalry between Hearts and Kotoko.

The striker was evasive on his move to Kotoko.
