Accra Hearts of Oak are seeking to bring back goalkeeper Sammy Adjei and former Kaizer Chiefs' striker Louis Agyemang to the club.
The Phobians are rebuilding after a poor season and have made a top class goalkeeper and striker their priority.
Hearts officials are in discussions with Adjei who has been released by his Israeli club Modena Ashdod after three seasons and are confident they can clinch a deal for the former Ghana number one.
If a deal goes through, Adjei will be returning to a club he knows inside out. He was with the Phobians between 1997-2004 and played a key part in their clean sweep of trophies including the African Champions League in 2000. After a failed stint in Tunisia with Club Africaine, he returned to the Phobians but did not stay long before moving out again.
Hearts have sacked goalkeeper Sannie Mohammed who replaced Adjei in 2004 but the former national goalkeeper may just be the perfect man to stabilise the club's shaky defence.
With 33 caps and three Nations Cup tournaments behind him, Adjei will bring bags of experience to the side.

The same cannot be said of Louis Agyemang their hero from the 2004 Confederations Cup winning side but Hearts are prepared to take a gamble on the former Kaizer Chiefs striker whose career has gone down hill since leaving the Phobians, to the extent that he even failed to show a glimpse of form at First Division FC AK.
