Kwame Opare Addo, the head of Communications for Hearts of Oak, has dismissed reports that the club is in talks to sign Eric Donkor.

Donkor, who left Ashgold in August following the expiration of his contract is in search for a new club.

The experienced left-back has since been linked to a move to Hearts of Oak.

But Opare Addo claims the team has enough players to play in the position of Donkor.

“We have William Dankyi, Rady Ovouka and Robert Addo who doubles as an excellent centre-back in that position. Why should we go in for another left-back when we have sold none?

“He [Eric Donkor] is an excellent player; no doubt about that. He has contributed his quota so well to Ghana football wherever he has gone and he is my personal friend,” he told Luv FM Sports.

“The reality is that, if it is not the case why do we want to force a story on the supporters which some of them go ahead and believe, creating pressure on management that you need to do certain things? This does not help anybody,” Mr Addo said.

The former Ashantigold SC defender, 28, trained with Auroras, the junior side of Hearts of Oak before joining Asante Kotoko in 2011 where he won three league titles and two FA Cups and rose to become vice-captain.
