Accra Hearts of Oak submitted a 36-man squad for their 2021/22 Caf Champions League campaign.
The Phobians included six new signings, namely: Gladson Awako (from Great Olympics), Enoch Asubonteng (free agent from WAFA SC), Isaac Agyenim Boateng (free agent from Medeama SC), Salim Adams (from New Edubiase United), Seidu Suraj (Phar Rangers) and returnee striker Kofi Kordzi from Qatari side Muaither SC.
Awako has the shirt number 7 with Asubonteng getting the No. 40; Agyenim Boateng – 28; Salim Adams – 35; Seidu Suraj – 39 and Kofi Kordzi taking up the number 9 for the back of his jersey.
Versatile defender Caleb Amankwah has swapped No. 77 for the No. 20 shirt.
Hearts also listed out-of-contract midfielder Benjamin Afutu while negotiations to have the 25-year-old renew his stay after three years with the club.
The one-time Caf Champions League winners are back in the competition after winning the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League title – the first time they achieved the feat in 12 years.
The double winners are Ghana’s sole representatives in the upcoming interclub season.
Hearts begin their campaign in the first preliminary round having to eliminate Guinean side Club Industriel de Kamsar in a two-legged tie this September.
The aggregate winner advances to vie for a slot in the 2021/22 Caf Champions League group stages with Wydad Athletic Club of Morocco later in October.
