Former Hearts of Oak Board Member, Frank Nelson Nwokolo, has emphasized that the club will not follow the same player transfer strategy as Asante Kotoko, despite both teams being in the same league.
Hearts of Oak is looking to revamp their squad after a disappointing 2023/24 Ghana Premier League season, where they finished 14th.
On the other hand, Asante Kotoko, who secured a 6th place finish, have parted ways with 19 players, including captain Ibrahim Danlad and Ugandan striker Steven Mukwala.
In an interview with ChannelOne TV, Mr. Nelson explained that Hearts of Oak will not mimic Kotoko’s approach. “We don’t apply the same type of trade even though we are in the same business they have their reasons,” he stated.
Instead, Hearts of Oak will focus on strategic analysis to identify their strengths and opportunities. “The important thing is that the management will sit down, the technical department will submit the report and they have to look at where are our opportunities, where are our strengths?” Mr. Nelson highlighted.
Both Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak are gearing up for the upcoming Democracy Cup, set to debut next month.
