Reports: Hearts of Oak star Afriyie Barnieh seal move to Swiss side FC Zurich

According to Kumasi FM, Hearts of Oak has sold Daniel Afriyie Barnieh to FC Zurich in Switzerland.

After the Championship of African Nations (CHAN) 2022, which runs from Friday, January 13 to Saturday, February 4, Daniel Afriyie Barnieh will join the Swiss giants.

The report added that Hearts of Oak would get $150,000 as compensation money rather than a transfer fee for the player whose contract at the club was extended until after the CHAN competition.

On 15 January 2020 Barnieh was signed on a three-year deal ahead of the 2019/20 Ghana Premier League. He made his debut on 19 January 2020 in a 2-1 away win against Liberty Professionals.

The attacker helped the Phobians win the Ghana Premier League championship two years ago and the MTN FA Cup twice in a row.

In the last two years, the 21-year-old has played for the Black Satellites, Black Meteors, Black Galaxies, and the senior national team, the Black Stars.

He guided the U-20 squad to victory in Mauritania at the 2021 African Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Afriyie Barnieh is in Egypt with the Black Galaxies preparing for the CHAN 2022 which will be held in Algeria.
