Speaking after the game, Gnange said the team has no secrets when it comes to away games but rather target to win every game they go into.

On the win over Chelsea, the Ivorian said, “The game was a good game. Chelsea is a good team and we are a good team as well. We prepared very well for the game and we went there to get a victory by fighting very hard. We are very happy with the victory”.

“We motivated ourselves and the coach talked to us and that motivated us as well to give of our best in this difficult game,” he added.

“Our target is to win every match; it is not any secret [that we are performing better away] but it is just that we are working hard for the victory.”

With the win, Hearts moved to the top of the Ghana Premier League (GPL) with 21 points after 11 games, one point better than former leaders Wa All Stars who lost 1-3 to Techiman City also on Sunday.

They will next play Sekondi Hasaacas at the Accra Sports Stadium in their next GPL game, and, will be confident of posting another win to maintain top position on the log.

Cherries Target Jordan Ayew

Jordan Ayew continues to get many suitors for his services after Bournemouth joined West Ham United for the services of the Ghanaian import.

The former Marseilles and FC Lorient attacker joined Aston Villa at the start of the season, but, his impressive outings for the relegated club seems to have found him an escape route.

Slaven Bilic’s high flying Hammers are in pole position for the services of the talented Jordan as a replacement for the uncertain Shieku Kouyati.

The Hammers have however been joined by Eddie Howes Cherries side after the Premiership newbies confirmed their safety in the top flight.

Jordan impressed many fanatics of the game with his quick feet on his arrival from Lorient in the summer of 2015.

The 24 year old endured a slow start to the season before racking in five impressive strikes for Aston Villa en route to their demotion.

Villa ended a 28 year spell in the Premiership with a 1-0 defeat at Manchester United after a torrid start to the season.

Jordan Ayew will however have to accept a slice in salary to continue his Premiership career or follow Aston Villa to the Coca Cola Championship.

The relegated Villa look set to hire the services of former Leicester City trainer Nigel Pearson ahead of the 2016/17 football season.
