Ghana international Gladson Awako has disclosed former Black Stars captain Stephen Appiah offered him to Hearts of Oak on his return to the Ghana Premier League.

However, after securing a move to the Phobians in the ongoing Ghanaian transfer window, the former TP Mazembe marksman has revealed he wanted to join the club at the time he was returning the GPL but all efforts proved futile.

He disclosed former Ghana captain offered him to the rainbow boys but the then coach Kim Grant halted the move.

“Before I came, I made up my mind to play the league and you know, Stephen Appiah tried to offer me to Hearts of Oak that was when Kim Grant was the coach and then, I pushed that move myself as well but the coach told me he’s done with his recruitment” he told Joy Sports.

“So, when this opportunity came again, Appiah called and told me this is what is happening and I told him I wont say no to Hearts of Oak because we all know the history behind the club and so if they should come for me I won’t say no, I will grab it and take the chance” he said.
