Hearts Denies Player Transfer Reports

Premier club, Accra Hearts of Oak has debunked rumours gaining currency in the media that the club is to sack 11 players at the end of the season.

Sections of the Ghanaian media have reported that the affected players would be sacked at the end of the season for their lack of effort.

However, the club’s official newspaper, the Hearts News reports that no such decision has been taken and asked the general public especially Accra Hearts of Oak fans to treat those reports with the contempt it deserves.

The management said any decision on transfers and new signings would be communicated to the fans through the trusted channels and asked fans to stay focused for the rest of the season.

These reports the paper said, are a calculated ploy by their detractors to destabilize the team going into the last three games of the season for them to take advantage of.

Accra Hearts of Oak it said, will not kowtow to such dictates to “cause confusion in our club” adding that the team is well focused for the task ahead.

The management has therefore asked the players mentioned in those reports to debunk the rumours and keep their concentration for the remaining three games of the season high.

Accra Hearts of Oak will play two home games against Ebusua Dwarfs in Accra on Sunday and Medeama SC next Wednesday before ending their campaign with a trip to Bekwai to confront New Edubiase United.

The Phobians are six points behind the leaders Wa All Stars and will need to win all of their remaining games to stand a chance of winning the title at the end of the season.

Hearts of Oak Board Member take Players To The Cleanness

Accra Hearts of Oak Board Member Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe has taken the players to the cleanness, preaching on the best principles of discipline and commitment at all times.

Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe, who is known for his tough stance on the subject, was addressing the players at their Legon Ajax Park training ground ahead of their next Ghana Premier League game.

“For you to be successful as footballers and individuals for that matter, you will need to abhor the best behaviour in your career at all times” he told the players.

“You must also be fully committed to the course of Accra Hearts of Oak as this is the club that you represent and one that pays you” Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe added.

He charged the players to learn from their predecessors who even in strenuous conditions served the club very well and went on to achieve great things for themselves and for the nation.

This he added should be an inspiration for them to press on to attain even higher standards as that is the catalyst for which they will be measured while still playing for the club or playing elsewhere.

With three games to end the season, the physician tasked the boys to take the bull by the horn and produce three great performances for Accra Hearts of Oak to close the season.

“Your output in these games would be remembered either for good or for bad reasons and, I charge you to stand up for it and win these games for the club” he said.
