'Incoming' Aduana Stars coach Kenichi Yatsuhashi has reportedly instructed the club to make Hearts defender Robin Gnagne his number one transfer target.
The Japanese trainer is on the verge of being appointed as the new coach of the Fire Club.
He is expected to replace Romanian Cioba Aristica after holding fruitful discussions with the 2009 Premier League champions.
According to multiple reports, the American-trained coach is seeking to reunite with the defender in Dorma when he finally joins the ambitious side.
Ivorian Gnagne went AWOL from Hearts camp over contractual disagreements.
It has been widely rumoured that the towering centre-back does not not play for the side again and seeking a new challenge elsewhere.
And it appears Aduana Stars could be the next destination after a proposed move to Tunisia fell through.
Gnagne joined the former African champions from defunct Red Bulls Academy in 2011 and has since become a huge figure for the club.
