Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko chase free agent Manuel Mantey

Ghana Premier League giants Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko are both pursuing midfielder Manuel Mantey, who became a free agent after his contract with Medeama SC expired. The 22‑year‑old, who helped Medeama win two league titles, is available without a transfer fee, making him an attractive, cost‑effective option for the two clubs.

Both clubs have made initial contacts and are assessing personal‑term offers as the transfer window closes. Mantey is praised for his composure, passing range, tactical awareness and ability to dictate the tempo of matches, qualities both sides believe will strengthen their midfield departments for the upcoming season and cup competitions.
