Ghanaian side Medeama say they are unaware of the departure of their midfielder Michael Helegbe who has arrived in Lebanon to sign for local side Tripoli Sporting Club.
The Tarkwa-based club are threatening strong action against the former youth international if the it is confirmed that he travelled to Lebanon to sign a deal.
Ghana's leading football news website www.ghanasoccernet.com exclusively revealed on Friday that Helegbe had travelled to Lebanon together with Eric Bekoe to sign for the big-spending club. GHANAsoccernet.com produced an exclusive picture of Helegbe and Eric Bekoe travelling to Lebanon to sign the contract which prompted anger from the Tarkwa-based club.
This has prompted a huge reaction from Medeama who claim they will announce their actions and sanctions once the move is confirmed from Lebanon.
ââ¬ÅMicheal Helegbe has a TWO year contract with the club which he signed in January 2014,â⬠Medeama spokesman Tony Nkrumah Boateng said.
ââ¬ÅIf reports coming in from Lebanon are proven to be TRUE, then there has been a clear breach of the regulations governing player registrations and the club will respond accordingly at the appropriate time,â⬠he ended.
Medeama say they are shocked that the midfielder, who has a two-year contract with them, apparently travelled out of the country without their knowledge to sign for another team.
