Accra Hearts of Oak have officially communicated their interest in signing central defender Razak Simpson from Nations FC, as the Phobians continue their squad reinforcement ahead of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season.
The move was confirmed by multiple sources close to both clubs, with Nations FC expected to respond to the proposal before Tuesday. Hearts of Oak are reportedly eager to secure the deal swiftly, with talks expected to progress in the coming days.
Simpson, 24, had an impressive 2024/25 campaign with Nations FC, making 21 league appearances and contributing four goals—a rare feat for a centre-back. His strong performances at club level have not gone unnoticed, earning him a place in the senior national team.
The towering defender has already featured five times for the Black Stars, finding the back of the net once—a well-taken goal against Trinidad and Tobago in the Unity Cup earlier this month.
Hearts of Oak see Simpson as a key addition to their defensive setup as they aim to build a more formidable backline under newly appointed head coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani. The club has already initiated a number of changes within their technical and playing staff, signaling a determined push to reclaim their dominance in Ghanaian football.
Should Nations FC give the green light, Simpson is expected to join the Phobians as one of their marquee signings this window.
