Kotoko’s Danlad reveals the only condition that will make him join Hearts
Danlad Ibrahim celebrates PKs win over Hearts | 2019 NC Special Cup
Young Asante Kotoko goalkeeper, Danlad Ibrahim has revealed the only condition that could see him turn out in the colours of arch-rivals Hearts of Oak.
Transfer business between the two clubs have been minimal. Even when they do, they are characterized by controversies. Cue in, the famous Charles Taylor saga.
Danlad, 17, who has been on the books of the Porcupines since his early teens, is ranked fourth in the pecking order of goalkeepers. During the recently voided 2019/20 season, he was enjoying a loan spell with Berekum Chelsea before the COVID-19 pandemic set in.
In quotes attributed to him as telling Metro FM, the 2017 Fifa U-17 World Cup shot-stopper doesn’t see the Phobians making an approach for his services while contracted to Kotoko.
“There is rivalry between Kotoko and Hearts so it will be difficult for Hearts of Oak to approach me.
“But I think when I’m no more playing for Kotoko and my service is not needed, then I will opt for Hearts if only they will need my services.”
In recent past, Hearts have had to sign two goalkeepers – Soulama Abdoulaye (late) and Ernest Sowah – from Kotoko. In both times, the Phobians swooped in to sign the players after they had been declared surplus and left the Porcupines as free agents.
