Kotoko, Hearts fight over Medeama midfield duo
Ghanaian giants Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak are in a tight race to sign Justice Blay and Richard Boadu with their club Medeama ready to sell only ONE of the defensive midfielders on transfer deadline day, Ghanasoccernet.com can exclusively report.
Medeama will only entertain the chance of selling just one of the two midfielders – meaning the club that snap their top target on time will be smiling.
The Mauve and Yellows are determined to do business with both clubs but will be dependent on negotiations.
Asante Kotoko are keen to sign long-term target and fans’ favourite Justice Blay to their ranks while Hearts of Oak have tabled an official bid for Richard Boadu.
Hearts of Oak coach Samuel Boadu is keen to reunite with his former protégé in the capital after signaling his intention to sign him.
However, both Hearts and Kotoko must beat each other to sign their target or risk losing them.
The Mauve and Yellow are ready to cash in on the midfielder who has less than eight months remaining on his current contract.
Justice Blay has already made his intention known on playing for the Ghana Premier League giants as his contract nears its expiration.
The 28-year old has been outstanding for the Mauve and Yellow in the ongoing campaign, scoring three goals in 14 matches.
His impressive performance has earned him a call up to the Black Stars for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa and Sao Tome and Principe.
