While the club stopped short of revealing details about the deal, the sentiment reflected their belief in the winger’s potential to succeed at the next level.

Saani Mohammed's stellar rise with Hearts

Saani’s journey with the Rainbow Club began before the ongoing season when he joined from Soccer 4 Souls FC, a second-division side.

Despite limited opportunities, the 18-year-old impressed with standout performances. According to Transfemarkt, he made 13 appearances in the Ghana Premier League.

In the over 1000 minutes played for Hearts, Isshak Mohammed is fondly remembered for his two exquisite assists in the away victory over Young Apostles, which showcased his creativity and composure under pressure.

Saani's move to AC Horsens

His move to AC Horsens offers a chance to test his abilities in the Danish NordicBet Liga, where the team currently sits fourth with 31 points after the first phase of the campaign.

Hearts of Oak’s next steps after Saani

Saani’s departure creates a gap in Hearts’ attacking setup, one that head coach Aboubakar Ouattara will need to address during the ongoing January transfer window.

Reports suggest the club is eyeing Seth Osei, a versatile former Ashgold playmaker who has long been linked with a move to the capital.

Osei’s ability to operate on the flanks could make him an ideal replacement for the outgoing winger.

Upcoming fixtures

As the team navigates the transition, they prepare for key encounters.

Ghanafa.org reports that on January 12, the Phobians will host lower-tier side Home Stars in the MTN FA Cup.

A week later, they face reigning Ghana Premier League champions Samartex at the Nsenkyire Sports Arena, a match that promises to test their resolve.
