Hearts of Oak midfielder, Emmanuel Nettey has described his outfit as the biggest club in Ghana and on the African continent.
The 23-year-old has been a phenomenon for the 19 times Ghana Premier League winners and one-time CAF Champions League winners after joining the club from UniStar Soccer Academy ahead of the 2019/20 football season that has been cancelled due to coronavirus.
“It’s been a joy and I’m really happy donning the colours of Hearts of Oak. This is one of the biggest clubs in Africa and the biggest club in Ghana because they are continental club masters. It is my opinion and it’s what I believe in. We are the biggest club in Ghana," he told Citi Sports.
Nettey also revealed that he grew up a fan of the club he currently plays for and alluded his move to Accra Hearts of Oak as the perfect timing of God.
“I grew up as a Hearts fan but had to play other clubs before coming to Hearts because I believe in the timing of God. If I had rushed to play, maybe I wouldn’t be making waves like now. We plan but God decides and He says this is the time for me to play for Hearts of Oak.”
Nettey started his professional career with a stint at Team-based Inter Allies. His contract was terminated there and he moved to Unistar Soccer Academy before joining Hearts of Oak.
