Hearts of Oak are reportedly contemplating terminating the contract of Cameroonian striker Albert Eounde due to his underwhelming performances. Eounde, who signed a three-year deal with the club in February, is under scrutiny for his lack of offensive impact, having failed to score last season and in the current season.
This decision follows the club’s previous parting with another international player, Yassan Ouatching, in June, who also did not score a single goal in the 2022/23 season. The management is assessing Eounde’s contribution, and there are indications of a potential departure before the start of the second half of the 2023/2024 season.
Despite these challenges, young striker Hamza Issah from Aurosas has emerged as a goal-scoring force for Hearts of Oak, netting five goals. The club is under increased pressure following their elimination from the MTN FA Cup by Nania FC.
Additionally, Hearts of Oak are actively seeking a replacement for departed coach Martinus Koopman, who was dismissed due to disappointing performances. The team is looking to bounce back as they travel to Dormaa to face Ghana Premier League leaders Aduana Stars on Sunday.
