Hearts of Oak Lead Race for Swedru All Blacks Defender Abdul Aziz Despite Late Medeama Interest

Hearts of Oak remain the frontrunners to sign Swedru All Blacks left-back Abdul Aziz despite a late approach from fellow Ghana Premier League side Medeama SC.

Sources close to the negotiations indicate that Medeama have recently expressed interest in the highly-rated defender in an attempt to hijack the deal. However, Hearts of Oak are still firmly in control of the race, with discussions between the club and the player’s representatives already at an advanced stage.

Abdul Aziz is understood to have identified Hearts of Oak as his preferred destination, giving the Accra-based giants a significant advantage as they work to finalize the transfer ahead of the new Ghana Premier League season.

The talented full-back has attracted attention with a string of impressive performances for Swedru All Blacks, earning a reputation as one of the most promising defenders in the domestic game. His defensive discipline, attacking runs down the flank, and consistency have made him a sought-after target during the current transfer window.

While Medeama’s late interest demonstrates the player’s growing stock, Hearts of Oak remain confident of completing the deal unless there is an unexpected twist in negotiations.

Should the transfer be completed, Abdul Aziz would add depth and quality to Hearts of Oak’s defensive options as the Phobians continue to strengthen their squad for the upcoming campaign.
