Hearts of Oak are in advanced negotiations with Golden Kick FC for the signing of central defender Baba Adamu.
Talks between both clubs have progressed positively, with an agreement expected to be finalised in the coming days.
The highly-rated centre-back is already training with the Phobians as they prepare for the upcoming season.
Baba has impressed the technical team with his composure and defensive awareness during sessions.
Sources close to the deal say the player will undergo his medical soon before officially signing a contract.
The move forms part of Hearts of Oak’s strategy to strengthen their backline for domestic competitions.
Once sealed, Adamu will become one of the first major additions under new head coach Didi Dramani.
