Hearts of Oak defender, Samuel Inkoom says that the club must spend on quality players and make intense preparation in order to make an impact in  Africa.

The club will be representing Ghana in the CAF Confederations Cup next season after beating Bechem United in the finals of the MTN FA Cup.

Hearts the last time in the CAF Champions League in 2021, got kicked out of the competition on a 6-2 aggregate score against eventual winner WAC of Morocco thus, failing to make the group stage of the competition.

The phobians had a slim 1-0 home victory in the first leg fixture in Accra before the humbling in Morocco.

"For us to win the trophy, we need intensive preparation for the CAF Confederations Cup," he said on Asempa FM.

"The likes of Al Ahly and other clubs are spending to buy quality players. They have the best facilities because they want to win.

"Spending is not an issue for them because they know they reap the results and that is what Hearts of Oak must also do.

"We have won the FA Cup but for us to make an impact and win the trophy, good preparation and bringing in quality players will do the magic," he added.

Samuel Inkoon joined the phobians in January and played very well for the capital based side as they lifted the MTN FA Cup.
