Hearts of Oak captain Robin Gnagne is not keen on signing a new deal with Hearts, Joy Sports has learnt.

His deal expires at the end of the season and the Ivorian has been asked by the club to sit down for talks. Reports also suggest that David Duncan wants the Ivorian in his Kotoko team. 

Having played for the team since 2012, Robin has become known especially for his proficiency with penalty kicks - a talent which quickly made him the team's default taker.

As it stands he could leave the Phobians at the season's end on a free. Last year, the player was linked with some European clubs, the highest profile of them being AS Monaco.

The rumours fizzled out quickly.

But worryingly for Hearts, the 23-year old is one of eight players whose deals expire at the end of this league season.

The burning issue limiting the club’s board from okaying talks with most of them is a lack of cash.
