“It’s been a joy and I’m really happy donning the colors of Hearts of Oak because this is one of the biggest clubs in Africa and the biggest club in Ghana because they are continental club masters. It is my opinion and its what I believe in. We are the biggest club in Ghana”.
“I grew up as a Hearts fan but had to play other clubs because I believe in the timing of God. If I had rushed to play, maybe I wouldn’t be making waves like now. We plan but God decides and He says this is the time for me to play for Hearts of Oak”, he said.
Hearts of Oak are 20-times Ghana Premier League champions, won 10 FA Cup trophies, a CAF Champions League and Confederation Cup titles and a Super Cup.
