Hearts of Oak have thrown a major wrench into Asante Kotoko’s pursuit of midfielder Walid Fuseini, making a late and improved bid for the highly rated former Nsoatreman FC star.
Fuseini had been on the verge of sealing a deal with Kotoko, with a meeting scheduled between the player and the Kumasi-based club. However, that meeting has now been abruptly cancelled following Hearts’ intervention.
Sources close to the negotiations reveal that Hearts of Oak have tabled a more attractive package, both financially and in terms of sporting incentives, in an effort to lure the dynamic midfielder to Accra. The Phobians are expected to engage Fuseini directly in the coming days to present their vision for the upcoming season.
Fuseini has become one of the most sought-after midfielders in the Ghana Premier League following an impressive campaign with Nsoatreman FC, where his blend of energy, composure, and passing range made him a standout performer.
His potential addition would significantly bolster Hearts’ midfield options as they aim to rebuild and challenge for honours in the 2025/26 season.
With Kotoko’s move now in serious jeopardy, the coming days will be crucial as both clubs await a final decision from Fuseini. The situation remains fluid, with the player weighing up his options amid growing interest.
