Hearts plan to tour China in January

Ghana Premier League giants Hearts of Oak are yet to conclude agreements on a planned mid-season tour of China. 

The capital club will tour the Asian country for three weeks when the first half of the Ghana Premier League ends on 13 January, 2013.

Hearts are planning to play four Chinese Super League sides Guangzhou, Jiangsu Sainty, Changchun Yatai and Liaoning.

The Phobians are also seeking to play lower league sides Yanbian and Wuhan Zal.

The club’s board believes the tour will give the squad the needed international exposure as well as use modern facilities available.

Hearts have tentatively fixed 20 January as their departure date.
