The duo signed for their respective clubs when the second transfer window was opened this month
Ahead of the Super Clash in Ghana Premier League between Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko at the Accra Sports Stadium this weekend, a lot of rumours have been flying around.
Among these rumours include the uncertainty surrounding former AC Milan midfielder Sulley Ali Muntari and Justice Blay who recently signed as free agents for Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko respectively.
Although, the game was initially billed to take place in November, it was postponed due to Hearts’ participation in Caf Confederation Cup against Algerian side JS Saoura.
However, since the second registration window was reopened on February 1, every player registered afterwards is eligible to play in all games.
It should be noted that both Muntari and Blay have already played games in the first round with Muntari making his bow against Great Olympics in the Ga Mantse derby before starting role against Real Tamale United last weekend.
Blay, on the other hand, featured in Kotoko’s defeat to Elmina Sharks and the victory over Accra Lions.
“The Ghana Football Association wishers to announce that the second registration window for the 2021/2022 season will be opened from 00:01 am., Tuesday, February 1, 2022 and closed at 11:59pm, Thursday, February 24, 2022,” a GFA statement read.
“However, the window for both International and Domestic (ITMS and DTMS) transfers for Ghana will be opened on 00:01 am. Saturday, January 1, 2022 and close at 11:59 pm. Monday, January 31, 2022.
“All clubs are to take note and transfer all their players through the ITMS and DTMS when the transfer window opens on 11:59 pm. on Monday, January 31, 2022 and register their players when the registration window opens on 00.01 am. Tuesday, February 1, 2022.
“Clubs are kindly reminded to fully comply with the directive and take note as there shall be no extensions to the window,” the statement added.
Kotoko lead the Ghana Premier League pack with 36 points, twelve points above Hearts.
