Hearts are interested in signing ex-Berekum Chelsea midfielder Ibrahim Issaka, GHANAsoccernet.com can reveal.
Issaka has returned to his native country after an unsuccessful stint with Congolese side Don Bosco.
Hearts have held discussions with the 26-year-old with a view of signing him ahead of the start of the new season.
The club is under mounting pressure to sign big-name players following their no-show in the transfer market so far.
The Ghanaian giants have identified the workaholic midfielder to bring stability to the heart of the team.
The Ghana Premier League starts on December 20 with huge expectations on the club which has remained club-less since 2009.
