Accra Hearts of Oak are in advanced negotiations with experienced goalkeeper Emmanuel Ofori, as the club seeks to bolster its squad ahead of the new Ghana Premier League season.
Ofori, who previously guarded the posts for Hearts of Lions in Ghana, as well as Reno Stars FC and Sunshine Stars FC in the Nigerian Professional Football League, has been identified as a top target to add depth and competition in the goalkeeping department of the Phobians.
The 27-year-old is highly regarded for his shot-stopping abilities, command in the box, and valuable experience on both the local and international stages. His potential arrival would be a significant boost for Hearts of Oak, who are aiming to rebuild strongly and challenge for domestic honors after a challenging campaign last season.
Sources close to the negotiations reveal that talks are progressing steadily, and a deal could be finalized in the coming days if both parties reach an agreement on personal terms.
The Phobians’ technical team believes Ofori’s leadership and calm presence between the sticks will provide much-needed stability, especially with Hearts also eyeing a return to continental competitions in the near future.
Fans of the Accra-based giants will be keeping a close eye on developments, as the signing of Ofori could signal the beginning of a series of reinforcements to strengthen the team ahead of the new season.
