‘Afriyie Barnieh should be paid a minimum wage of ₵15,000 a month at Hearts of Oak’ – Richard Attah

Hearts of Oak goalkeeper, Richard Attah has called on the club to do everything possible to keep striker Daniel Afriyie Barnieh for another season.

Attah believes the Phobians would need to prevent their prized asset from leaving the club if they want to make a significant impact in Africa and win laurels locally.

Barnieh remains the most influential player in the current Hearts set-up, having led the team to win the Ghana Premier League title and two MTN FA Cups in two years.

The 21-year-old has been a transfer target of most European and North African clubs after consistent performances with Hearts and is believed to be considering a move abroad.

However, his teammate Attah is of the view that the club should pay the former Kotoko trialist a minimum wage of GHs15,000 to retain him at the club.

“Afriyie Barnieh is the top player in the Ghana Premier League. He is the most important player at Hearts now and to me, he is worth Ghs15,000 monthly. I think with his level, that’s the least he should be paid. We need to retain him at the club,” he said in an interview with Accra-based Angel TV.

Since 2019, Barnieh has featured 64 times for Hearts in all competitions, netting 12 times with 6 assists.
