Daniel Afriyie Barnieh agrees new deal with Hearts Of Oak

Hearts Of Oak are close to extending the contract of their priceless attacker, Daniel Afriyie Barnieh.

Barnieh has been impressive since joining the Phobians in January 2020 after signing a three-year deal.

The talented sharpshooter has been outstanding in the last two seasons, and several reports suggest the Africa Under-20 championship winner could leave the club at the end of the 2021/22 season.

But according to a member of the club’s board, Vicent Sowa-Odotei, Hearts are almost through with discussions with Barnieh and the player is willing to sign the dotted lines.

“Daniel Afriyie Barnieh has agreed on a deal to extend his contract with Accra Hearts of Oak. We held successful talks and after agreeing on terms, we offered him a contract that reflected those terms. That was done 10days ago,” Sowah-Odotei told Asaase FM.

Barnieh has scored 10 goals and assisted 6 times this season, in all competitions.

He was adjudged the best home-based best footballer by the Sports Writers Association of Ghana after captaining the Black Satellites to win the Afcon U-20 in Madagascar in 2021.

He aided Hearts to win the Ghana Premier League last season, after going 12 years without the trophy.

He joined Hearts from lower-tier side Madina Republicans.
