Hearts of Oak board member Alhaji Akambi and defender Samuel Inkoom have emerged as key figures in the ongoing transfer negotiations between Bechem United striker Hafiz Konkoni and the Accra-based club.
Konkoni disclosed that he has been in constant contact with both individuals, expressing his satisfaction with the discussions.
Konkoni has attracted the attention of Hearts of Oak with his fine season with the Hunters that resulted in a Black Stars call-up as they look to bolster their squad following a disappointing 2022/2023 season.
The 23-year-old confirmed that talks are currently underway and expressed his pride in being directly approached by Alhaji Akambi, a prominent figure within the Hearts of Oak board.
“Yes, we are still negotiating. Alhaji Akambi is playing a key role. He wants me to come and help the team and I feel proud of that. Is not easy for somebody like Alhaji Akambi to contact you always, his calibre…” he told GhanaSportspage.
“Samuel Inkoom is also playing a vital role because he’s been calling me always, telling me about the good works of Accra Hearts of Oak and how the move will help me.
"He is also doing a good job because is not easy to call me every day checking at his level. His love for the club and how he talks about the club is something that I cannot understand.
“It is good but let’s see what happens because we’re still negotiating. I can’t really tell now whether I will play for them but there’s an advance talks. Inkoom is doing a great job,” he added.
