Legon Cities winger Stephen Appiah Asare is on the verge of joining Hearts of Oak in a highly anticipated transfer within the Ghana Premier League, GHANAsoccernet.com reports. The 28-year-old, who impressed with two goals and one assist in 14 matches during the latter half of the 2023-24 season, is set to finalize a two-year deal with the Phobians.

Appiah Asare has been training with Hearts of Oak for several weeks, impressing head coach Aboubakar Ouattara and the technical team. Although the deal is reportedly 60% complete, it is expected to be finalized soon. This move comes after rivals Asante Kotoko showed initial interest in the winger but ultimately did not pursue the transfer. Hearts of Oak hopes that Appiah Asare’s speed and skill will bolster their squad for the upcoming season.
