Former Black Stars Striker Issues 'Come Get Me' Plea to Hearts of Oak

• Prince Tagoe has declared himself ready should his former employers contact him to join them in the ongoing season
• Tagoe's proficiency in front of goal saw him win the top scorer award in the 2004 Ghana Premier League season with 18 goals
• Since leaving Bangladesh outfit Chittagong Abahani, the lanky striker has remained clubless and could prove a shrewd buy should the Phobians purchase him despite his age

Former Black Stars forward Prince Tagoe has declared his readiness to play for Hearts of Oak should the Accra-based side offer him a contract.

Tagoe, 35, who had a successful stint with the Phobians is currently unattached and works as a pundit on local television channel, Angel TV.

The 2000 CAF Champions League winners have struggled to mount a proper defence to the league crown they won last season owing to their lack of firepower in front of goal.

Hearts have mustered a paltry 15 goals in 17 games, representing an average of 0.8 goals per match at the end of the first round.

The Phobians will need to up the ante in the second round to stand a chance of wrestling supremacy at the top of the league table from fierce rival, Asante Kotoko.

But providing a route out of their poor form in front of goal is former league top scorer, Prince Tagoe - who is ready to rejoin his former employers.

"I will sign for Hearts of Oak if they contact me. I still have experience as a striker. With Sulley [Muntari] in the midfield, I can strike for Phobia.' Tagoe disclosed to Angel TV as quoted by Ghanaweb.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that former Hearts of Oak striker Prince Tagoe has backed Sulley Muntari to score against rivals Asante Kotoko on Sunday.

The ex-Black Stars forward believes his compatriot can break his scoring duck against the Porcupine Warriors after playing two games for the Phobians without a goal.
