Karela to take action against Hearts of Oak over “illegal” Eshun signing

Ghana Premier League side Karela United say they will report Hearts of Oak to the appropriate authorities for the signing of player Dominic Eshun – who according to the former is under – contract till November 2019.

The Phobians announced the signing of the winger on Tuesday but Karela say this transfer business is illegal and repulsive.

In a nine-paragraphed statement press released by the Anyinase-based side Karela United believes Hearts of Oak – whom they defeated 3-1 during the first round of the league – have breached the FIFA regulations on player transfer.

The Fifa player transfer regulations indicates an interested club that wants to sign a player of another club with whom the player has a valid contract must first make contact with the player’s current club before negotiations could even start. Karela say this was not done and they are contesting the transfer.
