“Alhaji Akambi or Honourable Odotei do not make any recruitment. We have a policy on our recruitment. It’s my target (a player I like), I scout him, I do my research, I look at the player in the Premier League about three, four, five times, if he repeats the same attitude, the same qualities, I discuss with the board.”
“We (me and the player) meet, I tell him my game plan, the reason why I need him to play the role he is coming to play. If you accept, I am finished with the technical side with him then I go and meet the MD then I am done.”
At the time of writing, Hearts have signed four players.
