Hearts of Oak have confirmed that Ivorian striker Ahmed Toure has been in touch to join the Phobian family.

According to the managing director of Hearts, Neil Armstrong-Mortagbe, the former Asante Kotoko forward made the first approach, but his outfit is yet to give it a firm thought.

“We have been contacted by Ahmed Toure’s camp expressing interest in playing for us but I replied that the decision to sign a player doesn’t lie in my hands,” Armstrong-Mortagbe stated.

“It has to be sanctioned by the coach and our recruitment committee. So for now, it remains as that; nothing concrete.”
