Player exodus has been a recurring theme with Accra Hearts of Oak in recent times with most of their key assets refusing to extend their stay at the club.

Not once has this occurred as a lot of key players have departed the club in recent past on a free transfer with the likes of Thomas  Abbey, Vincent Atinga, Ashittey Ollenu among the lot.

Communications Director of Hearts of Oak, Kwame Opare Addo has laid the blame squarely at the doorsteps of greedy agents who persuade their players not to renew their contracts.

“In fact, football agents are not helping the game at all. Everyone knows there is something good abroad for players than playing in Ghana”

“Agents influences players not to extend their deals with the club which Hearts of Oak is a victim. This is affecting so many clubs.

Sometimes it can be the decision of the player but I think that some people as they parade around as agents are not helping the future of some of these players and it is not only Hearts of Players, I’m referring to players on the African continent. Those agents are seriously causing problems for clubs” he told Atinka FM

Hearts of Oak recently parted ways with five players after both parties failed to reach agreement as to contract renewal with Joseph Esso, Christopher Bonney, Bernard Arthur, Benjamin Agyare and Abubakar Traore all leaving the club as free agents.
