Accra-based club Hearts of Oak have debunked claims that they have signed former Inter Milan midfielder Sulley Muntari.
Speculation has been rife on social media that the club had added the Black Stars player to their ranks.
However, Hearts of Oak denied this and stated on Twitter that all their new signings will be announced the club.
They urged their fans to only rely on the club’s official social media handles for transfer information.
“Hearts of Oak wants to notify the general sporting public that we have not signed Ghana International Sulley Muntari as it’s being reported by the media,” the club’s statement said.
“Hearts is a Premier club in Ghana and will continue to set the standards, we, therefore, urge our supporters not to rely on information unless it comes from our official handles.”

35-year-old Muntari has played for some of Europe’s biggest clubs including Inter Milan and AC Milan, winning the Champions League with the former, but has been without a club since he left Albacete last summer.
However, the player appears to be desperate for a return to the game and was recently even eyeing up a call-up to the senior national team.
