Head of Club Consult Africa, Yussif Chibsah, has revealed midfielder Gladson Awako rejected an offer from Tanzanian side Yanga FC to sign for Hearts of Oak.
Hearts announced the signing of the 30-year-old midfielder on a two-year-contract a fortnight ago.
Chibsah, a former player of Asante Kotoko, capped 13 times by Ghana at the senior level, has revealed why the former TP Mazembe star decided to join Hearts instead of Young Africans FC.
“Awako wanted to join Hearts of Oak. There were offers from foreign clubs for him but he had his own reasons. He has a baby who is less than a year old and he wanted to stay close to the family,” he told Bright Kankam Boadu on Pure FM.
Awako is the most decorated footballer in the current Ghanaian domestic scene after winning the CAF Champions League, CAF Confederation Cup and CAF Super Cup with the DR Congo giants TP Mazembe.
He has commenced training with Hearts of Oak ahead of the Phobians campaign in the CAF Champions League.
