“I rejected an offer from PSG in 2006 to complete a season at Hearts of Oak and I was the top scorer,” Tagoe told Accra-based Angel FM, as quoted by Pulse.
“I moved to Saudi Arabia for €2m the following year and had good offers from Europe. Afriyie Barnieh shouldn’t rush to leave Hearts of Oak.”

Afriyie Barnieh's contract with Hearts of Oak expires at the end of the year and the youngster has been linked with several clubs abroad.

He was a member of the Black Stars team at the World Cup in Qatar, but failed to make an appearance at the tournament.

In a post on Instagram, Prince Tagoe reminisced his days at Hoffenheim and the trust Rangnick had in him, as well as wished the manager the best in England.
