Karim Alhassan coy on Hearts of Oak stay

Hearts of Oak captain Karim Alhassan says he will decide his club future with the Ghana giants by the close of the week.

The contract of the centre-back runs out in November but talks to extend the deal have stalled.

The powerful defender is reported to be on the wish-list of rivals Asante Kotoko, with a mouth-watering offer on the table for him.

“I will decide my future with Hearts of Oak by the close of this week. Nothing concrete has been agreed yet and I will end all the speculations by this week,” the 20-year-old said.

Alhassan was a member of Ghana’s Under-20 which failed to progress from the Group stage of this year’s African Youth Championship South Africa.
