Ghana Premier League giants Hearts of Oak are closing in on re-signing Nuru Sulley in the on-going transfer window, according to reports in the local media.

Sulley is expected to pen a deal with the Phobians after successful negotiations in the coming days ahead of the second round of the 2019/20 season.

The 27-year-old was training with Hearts before the suspension of the current campaign due to the cornavirus outbreak in the country.

Hearts of Oak have been one of the busiest sides in the transfer market, having already signed Isaac Mensah, Danjuma Kuti, Abednego Tetteh and Abdourahamane Mamane Lawali.

Sulley has been without a club since terminating his contract with Lebanese side Naft Al-Junoob.

The defender has previously played for several clubs including Al-Nasr Benghazi, Tala'ea El Gaish, Al-Ittihad, Alanyaspor and Al-Mina.

Sulley left the Accra based side in 2014 after a three-year stint with the club.

Hearts of Oak are currently 9th on the league table with 21 points after 14 matches played thus far.
