Accra Hearts of Oak forward Mawuli Wayo is nearing a move to Egyptian Premier League side El Qanah FC, with negotiations understood to have reached their final stage.
The proposed transfer is expected to be completed soon, with Hearts of Oak and El Qanah FC continuing to work through the remaining formalities required to conclude the deal.
Wayo has been part of the Hearts of Oak squad and is now set to begin a new chapter in his career by moving abroad. A switch to Egypt would give the forward a fresh opportunity and greater exposure in the country’s top flight.
The exact completion date has not been confirmed, but the two clubs remain engaged in finalising the agreement. The deal will become official once the outstanding processes have been completed by both sides.
For Wayo, the move would represent a significant step away from Ghanaian football and an opportunity to continue his development in a different league. His potential transfer would also place him among a growing number of Ghanaian players pursuing careers in North Africa.
Several Ghanaian talents have moved to North African leagues in recent years and gone on to establish successful careers there. Wayo’s proposed move to El Qanah FC would add to that broader trend, while also giving him the chance to compete in the Egyptian Premier League.
El Qanah FC are expected to see the Ghanaian attacker as an addition who can strengthen their attacking options. The club will be hoping Wayo can bring further quality to their squad once the transfer has been formally completed.
Until the final paperwork is concluded, Wayo remains a Hearts of Oak player. However, with negotiations now at an advanced stage, the forward appears close to leaving the club for Egypt.
The move would mark Wayo’s first step into football outside Ghana, according to the details of the proposed transfer, and would open up a new phase of his career with El Qanah FC. Both clubs are continuing to handle the final requirements before the deal can be confirmed.
The transfer reflects the increasing movement of Ghanaian players towards North African football, where they have continued to seek new opportunities and greater exposure. Should the agreement be completed as expected, Wayo will become the latest Ghanaian attacker to pursue a career in the region.
For now, the remaining work is administrative, with the transfer expected to be finalised soon. El Qanah FC will then look to integrate Wayo into their squad and make use of the qualities that encouraged them to pursue the Hearts of Oak forward.
