Hearts of Oak are reportedly close to securing the services of defender Michael Awuah Mensah from Nations FC.

The center-back has agreed to a two-year deal with the Phobians, who are looking to strengthen their squad after a challenging season.

Awuah played a significant role in Nations FC's impressive campaign last season, where the team came close to winning the league title in their debut season.

His addition to Hearts of Oak is seen as a strategic move to bolster the team's defense and enhance their overall performance.

Last season, Hearts of Oak narrowly avoided relegation, finishing 14th in the league with 45 points, just one point above the relegation zone.

Determined to improve their standings in the upcoming season, the club views Awuah's arrival as a key step in bringing stability and experience to their backline.

The 24-year-old defender's contract with Nations FC will be terminated in the coming days to facilitate his move to Hearts of Oak.

His signing is considered a crucial part of the club's rebuilding efforts and their aim to compete more effectively in the Ghana Premier League.

With Awuah's proven abilities and defensive prowess, Hearts of Oak are optimistic about their prospects for the new season and are eager to see the positive impact he will bring to the team.
