Black Stars defender Kojo Oppong Peprah set to join Fenerbahce
According to reports, an agreement has been reached between the Super Lig side and French outfit OGC Nice for the signing of the defender.
Former Accra Hearts of Oak captain Yaw Amankwah Mireku has vehemently denied former club chairman Harry Zakour's assertion that each member of the 2000 CAF Champions League-winning team received a $100,000 bonus. Zakour disclosed in an interview with Sporty FM that every player from the legendary 2000 squad was awarded $100,000 following their victory in the CAF Champions League.
However, Mireku categorically rejected the claim, calling it "a lie and senseless." "It's a stupid and senseless statement from Harry Zakour. There is no truth in what he said," Mireku stated during an interview with Connect 97.1FM. The ex-Hearts captain further clarified that the players were initially promised $25,000 each, but this sum remains unpaid.
"Even the $25,000 we were promised hasn't been paid, let alone the $100,000 Zakour claims," he added. Mireku emphasized that false claims could cause unnecessary pressure on the club and its supporters, urging Zakour to apologize. Hearts of Oak triumphed over Esperance 5-2 on aggregate in the final to secure the CAF Champions League title in 2000.
