He will be a perfect addition to the 2000 CAF Champions League winners as they seek to defend the treble title won last season at the expense of rivals, Asante Kotoko. Hearts of Oak clocked 61 points as against Asante Kotoko’s 57 to win their first title in over a decade and the 21st in all last season.
