Bernard Tekpetey dismisses rumours he's joining SC Braga

Exciting Ghanaian forward Bernard Tekpetey has dismissed rumours that he's set for a sensational transfer move to SC Braga.

The goal machine has been heavily linked with a move away from Ludogorets Razgrad following his dynamite performance last season in the Bulgarian top-tier.

Tekpetey, 24, who opened his goal scoring account for the 2022/23 Parva Liga against Lokomotiv Plodiv on Saturday has however poured cold water on any suggestion he's joining the Portuguese giants.

"You saw that in the first half we tried to execute our plan, but they played man for man. There was no way we could play successfully. In the break we analyzed them and managed to neutralize them, we were going low. The coach told us that we have to attack the spaces behind them. You saw that they were a bit slower and spaces opened up," he said after the game.

"I have ambitions to score goals, but I also have a striker next to me who I can pass to. The most important thing is to achieve our goals. I'm not going to talk about my future right now. I mean I want to achieve big things with Ludogorets. I want to help the team play in the Champions League. Braga is not an option," he added.

Kickgh.com understands that Ludogorets are reluctant to sanction a permanent deal to farm-out the former Ghana U23 player, so a loan is likely if they intensify their pursuit.
