Accra Hearts of Oak have signed Asec Mimosas' Ousmane Doumbia to boost their midfield for next season.
The Ivorian midfielder despite participating in the Asec's domestic and continental matches last season has largely been surplus to requirement.
Hearts ended the 2016 season third on the log with 48 points, behind winners Wa All Stars and second-placed Aduana Stars.
While the Phobians are welcoming Doumbia to their fold, the club is reportedly locked in a row with another Ivorian, Robin Gnagne, who is a veteran of the team.

Hearts management have been unable to reach the defender, who still has a year left in his contract, with suspicion he could be planning a move away from the Accra-based outfit.
