Hearts of Oak trio set to join FC Cincinnati on loan

Gideon Asante and Rashid Okine, two players from Hearts, are poised to join FC Cincinnati in Major League Soccer (MLS) on loan, with an option to purchase.

Already, the club have agreed to sign Enock Asubonteng on loan with an option to buy.

As part of the Common Value Club Alliance between TSG Hoffenheim, Accra Hearts of Oak, and FC Cincinnati, the two players will be assigned to FCC 2. Following Salim Adams and Enoch Asubonteng, Asante and Okine will be the third and fourth players from Hearts to join the American club.

Asante, 20, who arrived at Hearts from Tema XI at the start of the season, quickly endeared himself to the team’s supporters with his nimble footwork and trickery.

In the absence of Dennis Korsah, Okine, 19, played more games at left-back. He also joined the club at the beginning of the season.
