The 25-year-old Ghanaian said that Bundesliga mid-tablers Bochum and second division Duisburg have made enquiries about him for next season.

"I can confirm that I have received invitations from Bochum and Duisburg but my club is not prepared to let me go now," Arko told Ghanasoccernet.com.

"This season has been better for me and I hope to build on it next season. I'm delighted by the interest shown in me and I hope I get a better deal."

Arko leads the scoring charts in the Egyptian Premier League with 12 goals this season, helping Gaish to survive in the top flight after a poor start.
