Hearts of Oak coach Samuel Boadu says he is working to ensure that midfielder Benjamin Afutu is handed a new contract.
The box-to-box midfielder is currently out of contract and there have been reports of a move to join a club in Egypt.
Afutu played a key role in Hearts of Oak campaign last season as they won the double.
Hearts of Oak have been in talks with Afutu over a new deal after the player’s contract run out at the end of 2020/2021 season.
Boadu while reacting to whether or not he missed the energetic box-to-box midfielder in the team’s 2-0 win over CI Kamsar in the CAF Champions League, he said :
“No one can say Afutu’s absence wasn’t felt. Even off the field of play, he is very disciplined and I love the boy so much and I wish he’s here with us. For Afutu, no doubt I will do my possible best(to get him back).” He told Ohene-Bampoe Brenya on Happy FM
Hearts of Oak, however, registered Benjamin Afutu in their Champions League squad and thus could play if both parties reach an agreement for an extension.
