Ex-Hearts enigma Obed Ansah will sort out his club future by the end of July
By Patrick Akoto
Ex-Hearts of Oak midfielder Obed Ansah says he will decide his club future in the next four weeks.
The 24-year-old joined second-tier side Tarkwa United after he refused to extend his contract at Hearts of Oak in 2011.
The mercurial midfielder was heavily involved in the National Division One campaign until the League went on an indefinite break to allow for a number of disciplinary cases at the Ghana Football Association to be cleared.
The exciting enforcer, linked with South African side Bloemfontein Celtic in the past, says he will sort out his club future by the close of this month.
“I went to play for Tarkwa United because sitting down wouldn’t have helped my career, therefore I needed to be active,” Ansah said
“I must say it was a good time out there. I enjoyed all of the 6 or 7 games I played with them before the league was suspended.
“My agent says a club in Europe has a deal for me so we are waiting on it. I will decide next month where I will play my trade next season before the various leagues kick off.
“But I am willing to sign for any club which tables a good offer for my services.”
The latest situation could a alert a number of local clubs including Champions Asante Kotoko who were heavily linked with the pocket-size midfielder in the past.
kotoko doesn’t need him pls
Hearts must once again negotiate for Obed’s services. He was arguably one of the most enigmatic players Phobia has ever had. Though dimunitive in structure, he has massive fight in him. No wonder he was our leading scorer at a certain point in time and scored some important goals for us. We shall love to see him back in the team. Togbe please bring back Obed and we shall throng the stadium for you. Indeed, the guy is real fighter for balls and very creative and intelligent.
Well said Nii, but the point is, is he committed enough for the cause. Accra Hearts of Oak has done extremely well with players whose interest are not solely based on the incentives but on the bloodline that runs in them. The current corps of players don’t have that and its the reason for our struggles. My honest opinion.
Seriously, this guy has done enough with the Soccer Paradise. We don’t need him anymore. He followed money, and didn’t become the Phobia Legend we wanted him to be. Go and end your career in Europe.
