Hearts of Oak need experience players to become a powerhouse again - Augustine Ahinful

Former Hearts of Oak striker, Augustine Ahinful says the club will need experienced players to become a powerhouse in Ghana football again.

The Phobians are yet to win a trophy since the 2009 season.

Hearts of Oak has signed Abednego Tetteh, Nuru Sulley, Eric Dizan and two other foreign players in the just ended transfer window.

“I have heard Hearts of Oak dominating the headlines because of their player recruitment policy,” he told Asempa FM.

“I have read Nuru Sulley has returned to the club with the addition of Abednego Tetteh and a Nigerien striker. It is all good but you cannot do it without experienced players.

“For me, that is the important thing for the club to do. They should sign experienced players and blend them with the young players. Without that, I don’t think they can anything meaningful.

“Europeans take time to develop players and you see the difference when they are playing. We should also learn from that and welcome experience players into our local league,” he added.
