Hearts requests for Addo?s transfer certificate

With less than tow weeks for the registration of players by the Ghana Football Association to end, league leaders, Hearts of Oak has requested for the International Transfer Certificate (ITC) of Ishmael Addo.

Investigations conducted by the club?s bi-weekly mouthpiece ?Hearts News? revealed that, the club has requested for the ITC of the three-time goalking to enable them make his services available to his mother club. A letter to that effect has been channelled through the Ghana Football Association (GFA).

Bastia, the French side, which took on Addo on a loan agreement, failed to renew their interest in the player after six months of loan. They are therefore obliged to return the player back to Hearts.

Addo?s ITC is expected to arrive by the end of this week for early registration in order to feature him in the titanic clash against Kotoko in Kumasi. Addo, who is currently in the country and is expected to start training with Hearts soon, is keen in rejoining his club to re-launch his career.

The headcoach of Hearts, Herbert Addo, has already expressed interest in having the former goalking to beef up his squad and believes Ishmael would contribute enormously to the Phobian pursuits this year. His inclusion in Hearts? present squad, which have played 12 league matches and winning all, is expected to make the clubs current run even sharper.
