Hearts of Oak Board Member Vincent Sowah-Odotei has urged supporters to remain patient as the club navigates the player transfer market.

The Phobians have made notable signings, including former Accra Great Olympics goalkeeper Benjamin Asare and Michael Awuah, while seeing the departures of Glid Otanga and Ibrahim Salifu.

Speaking to ChannelOne Sports at a ceremony marking the handover of the newly built Phobia House, Sowah-Odotei emphasized the strategic approach the club is taking in its transfer dealings.

The event saw Hearts Executive Board Chairman Togbe Afede XIV leading club dignitaries in inspecting the new facility and receiving the official handover notes.

Sowah-Odotei highlighted that the Phobia House is a significant step in Hearts of Oak’s ambitions to become an elite African club. He reassured fans that the club’s transfer strategy is deliberate and measured.

“Remember that the transfer period is a marathon, not a sprint. The transfer period is not closed, so far we think we are on track,” he stated.

Hearts of Oak finished 14th in the 2023-2024 Ghana Premier League standings.
