Former Karela United midfielder Emmanuel Mintah has started training with Hearts of Oak  ahead of an expected move to the Phobians.

Mintah is currently holding talks with the Accra-based club over a possible deal ahead of the start of the new season.

The player trained with the Phobians on Wednesday as he look set to finalize the deal in the coming days.

The midfielder had a short spell with Egyptian side Alassiouty Sport earlier in 2018 before returning to Ghana in June.

He made 13 appearances for Karela United during the GFA Normalisation Committee Special Competition as they lost in the final to Asante Kotoko.

The player could feature in the upcoming 2019 Presidential Cup against Kotoko on Sunday.
