In a stunning turn of events, Hearts of Oak have pulled off a major transfer coup by hijacking Nations FC’s move to sign former Bechem United defender Francis Acquah.
The 23-year-old left-back was expected to join his former club Nations FC after his contract with Bechem United expired, but Hearts of Oak have swooped in at the last minute to steal the deal.
According to Sportsworldghana.com’s sources close to the negotiations, Acquah has been in talks with Nations FC for several weeks and was due to undergo a medical assessment last Wednesday. However, Hearts of Oak’s sudden interest has changed the dynamics of the transfer, and Acquah is now considering a move to the capital club.
Nations FC had been keen to bring in Acquah as a replacement for departing players but Hearts of Oak’s late bid has caught them off guard.
The defender has reportedly been ignoring Nations FC’s attempts to contact him, instead opting to weigh up his options and consider the offer from Hearts of Oak.
Acquah’s impressive performances for Bechem United last season, which included 27 appearances and three goals, have made him one of the top left-backs in the league.
