Comparing the Phobians to Chelsea from the English Premier League, the football administrator used how the Blues have struggled after spending millions to recruit players to defend his team.

He refuses to throw misfiring striker Yassan Ouatching under the bus for his inability to score this season.

“They (Hearts of Oak players) are doing well. Chelsea spent a lot of money to buy all the players in Europe and now see them,” Alhaji Akambi said in an interview.

Yassan Ouatching was recruited by Hearts of Oak to bang in the goals for the team this season.

Unfortunately, he has failed to live up to expectations.

All season, he has not managed to hit the back of the net and is reportedly set to have his contract terminated at the end of the 2022/23 football season.
