Hearts of Oak new signing Abednego Tetteh and Kotoko defender Ismail Ganiu have initiated an interesting verbal exchange on social media.

The heated war of words stemmed from a recent interview with FootballMadeInGhana where Tetteh vowed to score a hat-trick in his first appearance against the Porcupine Warriors.

Here is the story below:
