Ghana Premier League giants, Hearts of Oak are said to have expressed strong ambitions to sign former Inter Allies striker, Victorien Adebayor in the ongoing transfer window.



The Nigerien international was purported to have agreed on a move to Ghana Premier League side Legon Cities last week but fresh reports emerging from the camp of Hearts of Oak indicate that he is said to be interested in a move to the capital-based club.

Hearts of Oak have in recent times, made giant strides in competing for honors by poaching former Medeama trainer, Samuel Boadu into their ranks as well as former Eleven Wonders maxman Ibrahim Salifu.

The talented striker was a cult hero in the truncated league netting 23 goals in 27 games for the Capelli boys before his exit to join HB Koge on loan.

If he manages to join the Rainbow side, he will challenge for a starting berth role with Victor Aidoo, Kwame Obeng Junior, Isaac Mensah and Abednego Tetteh.

Victorien Adje Adebayor is back in the country from Danish club HB Koge joining Ghana Premier League setup Legon Cities FC on a short-term deal.



HB Koge confirmed the departure of the lanky forward to Legon Cities in a loan move that will last for the second round of the ongoing Ghana Premier League 2020/2021 campaign.

The 24-year old crossed carpets to join Danish second-tier side from Ghana Premier League outfit Inter Allies FC in October 2020 after an impressive outing in the recently truncated league.

During his stay on Ghana, he managed an impressive 12 goals in 13 matches to the admiration of football lovers in the country and beyond.

Hopefully, his signing will propel Legon Cities to a favourable finish following the recent acquisitions of Richmond Antwi, Hans Kwofie and Justice Anane.

Capital Accra based Hearts of Oak have set their targets on bolstering their squad to challenge for honors in the second phase of the suspended 2019/20 Ghana Premier League season.

The league is currently suspended by a Presidential directive in efforts to mitigate the pandemic, COVID-19, which is now a global concern to many all over the world.

Though the league is not being played, the Phobia fraternity have made sure to use the inactivity of the league to properly scout for players and begin official negotiations with the players and clubs of interest.

Reports making headway in the local football landscape has it that, stop guard Coach Edward Odoom and his technical team have identified a host of key players they hope will be integral to their progress once the league resumes.

The four-man list given to the Hearts of Oak Board of Directors includes Inter Allies’ prolific Victorien Adebayor, Emmanuel Keyekeh and Diawisie Taylor of Karela fame as well as Michael Ampadu who plays for Liberty Professionals.

It remains to be seen if the Rainbow side will be able to sign these lads to help them end their eleven-year title drought this season.
