Head coach of Accra Hearts of Oak, Mas-Ud Didi Dramani, is optimistic that the club's current transfer ban will be lifted in due course.

The Phobians have been sanctioned by the Ghana Football Association for failing to pay a $70,000 fee to New Edubiase United over the transfer of midfielder Salim Adams.

In an exclusive interview with JoySports' Atsu Tamakloe, Dramani expressed confidence that the issue will soon be addressed.

"I'm very positive. In the long run, it's all about monetary in balances that will be taken care of," he said.

"I’m hoping that at the end of the day, the club will fulfil their obligations and will be free to do their business."

Hearts of Oak finished fourth in the just-ended Ghana Premier League season.

The experienced coach will be hoping for the needed backing from the club’s hierarchy to strengthen the squad ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

The former Black Stars assistant coach will lead Hearts out of the tunnel when they face Asante Kotoko at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday. Two days later, the Phobians will fly out to Nigeria for the Eko International Cup.
