I want to play for Hearts Of Oak again before I retire – Prince Tagoe

Former Hearts of Oak striker Prince Tagoe has declared his readiness to return to the club again as a player before he retires from football.

Tagoe joined the Phobians on loan from lower-tier Tudu Mighty Jets in 2005 and later became the top scorer of the Ghana Premier League with an impressive 18 goals.

The former Black Stars and 1899 Hoffenheim attacker was in Ghana training before the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.

Speaking to TV3 Sports, Tagoe revealed he would love to have a second stint with the Rainbow club before hanging his boots.

“Hearts is my club. I want to pay my respect to them. The current players can learn a few things from me,” he said.

since 2009, Hearts Of Oak have not been able to win any major trophy and Tagoe, claims the club has to recruit right talents in the coming seasons.

“They should consider dealing with real talents instead of thinking that if a player’s manager is financially okay, they should help push him,” he said.

“The scouting team needs to really up their game because a good player will come but because they came with no manager even if he is good, they will end up picking someone else and leave him.”

He added, “Talent is being overlooked, just look at Charles Taylor’s story. We have to go back to the days of recruiting even at the colts’ level and pick real talents.”

Comparing Hearts of Oak then and now, he continued,

“Most of the players who have played for Hearts of Oak loved the team wholeheartedly.”

“Previously, we travel across Africa to win titles but the recent ones find it difficult to do that. It is not because they are not good but they have to play as a team because traditionally, Accra Hearts of Oak is a family.”
