Hearts of Oak and Nations FC in tug-of-war over Golden Kick midfield sensation Bless Ege

Accra Hearts of Oak are locked in a transfer battle with Nations FC for the signature of Bless Ege, the talented midfielder who made headlines with his standout performances for Golden Kick SC in the recently concluded 2024/25 season.

Ege, who first rose through the ranks at Tudu Mighty Jets, is one of the most sought-after young prospects in the Ghanaian game following his impressive showing in the MTN FA Cup final, where he scored a stunning free-kick against Asante Kotoko. His ability to dictate play and deliver from set-pieces has put him on the radar of top-tier clubs.

Sources reveal that both Hearts of Oak and Nations FC have opened talks with the player’s representatives, with the Phobians currently slightly ahead in negotiations. Discussions are believed to be at an advanced stage, and a decision on his future is expected before Monday, pending agreement on personal terms and a final transfer fee.

The 20-year-old’s potential addition would be a major coup for Hearts of Oak, who are restructuring their squad under new head coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani. However, Nations FC, who are also strengthening for their CAF Champions League debut, remain keen on luring the midfielder to Abrankese.

Golden Kick, for their part, are weighing up whether to cash in on their prized asset or retain him for another season. With interest mounting, the coming days will be crucial in determining where Bless Ege lands next.
