Hearts of Oak coach Aboubakar Ouattara has said he will only sign players who can improve the current squad and not any player whose performance has nothing to show.
The Phobians has had a difficult and challenging season, with their inconsistent results since the start of the season and are currently on the 11th position in the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League table, having earned 38 points from 29 games.
“I want to be absolutely clear: if I am signing a player for Hearts of Oak, they must be of exceptional quality. If a player’s abilities are on par with those of Ampadu, that’s acceptable, but if they’re not, I see no reason to sign them. After all, I already have a player of that caliber” Ouattara said.
“If a player’s skills are equivalent to Ampadu’s, I question the need to sign them. I am not interested in signing players who are below the level of my current squad. If I’m looking for academy players, I would turn to Auroras players” He added.
