Ghana Premier League giants Hearts of Oak are set to part ways with 12 players ahead of the new season, according to local media reports.
The decision comes after a disappointing campaign last term, where the Phobians finished 14th in the Ghana Premier League table.
The club has been evaluating the performance of its players and has decided not to retain those who did not meet expectations. The news was confirmed by sources within the club, who revealed that the team has already communicated with the affected players.
The Phobians are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season and will soon announce the departure of the 12 players whose services will no longer be needed at the club.
This move is part of the club's plan to make a strong impact in both the Ghana Premier League and FA Cup.
Meanwhile, Hearts of Oak suffered their third straight defeat to rivals Asante Kotoko on Wednesday evening in the Democracy Cup. The Porcupine Warriors inflicted a 2-1 win over the Phobians at the Accra Sports Stadium to lift the inaugural Cup.
