Hearts of Oak have become the first Ghana Premier League side sign a former UEFA Champions League winner.

He won the UEFA Champions League under Jose Mourinho at Inter Milan and scored some fabulous goals for various clubs including Barcelona.

Meanwhile, Hearts of Oak, 5th on the Ghana Premier League table, believes the experience of the former AC Milan, Inter Milan, Sunderland and Portsmouth star will help them in their title defence in both the Ghana Premier League and the MTN FA Cup.

The 37-year-old has experience from three World Cup tournaments, having featured for the Black Stars in the 2006, 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cup editions.

Muntari was an influential figure as the West African powerhouse reached the quarter-final of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa and scored a cracking finish against Uruguay in the quarter-final.

Muntari has been training with the Phobians for some time and during the post-match of the Phobians narrow 1-0 victory over King Faisal at the Accra Sports Stadium, head coach Samuel Boadu told StarTimes’ Eli Kondoh that the addition of the former Udinese star will immensely contribute towards the success of his side.
