Berekum Chelsea striker Emmanuel Sarpong has rejoined his teammates for pre-season training ahead of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League, putting to rest rumours of a move to Hearts of Oak.
The prolific forward had been strongly linked with the Phobians earlier in the transfer window, but the deal collapsed after negotiations between the two clubs broke down.
Sources indicate that all discussions have now been shelved.
His return is a major boost for Coach Samuel Boadu, who faces a stern test in their season opener against Asante Kotoko.
A key figure in Chelsea’s attack last season, Sarpong is expected to once again lead the line as the team aims to improve on their previous campaign.
With the transfer speculation now over, the forward is fully focused on spearheading Chelsea’s charge when the new season kicks off in September.
