Ex-Hearts striker Ishmael Addo is the latest Ghanaian player to be divorced by the wife as the woes of footballers and their spouses surge on.

The couple has been separated from each other for months after she filed for divorce.

Addo, who enjoyed a successful spell during his time at the former African champions, becomes the latest Ghanaian football star to get into trouble over strained relations with his once cherished better half.

The player’s issue joins a series of recurring cases with Ghanaian players in recent times.

Ghana defender John Mensah has been ordered to sell off his plush mansion in Accra to compensate his former wife Henrietta following the completion of their divorce.

Another Ghana defender John Paintsil could be heading into a similar direction even though he has vowed to save his strained marriage with wife Richlove.

Former Ghana players Arthur Moses and Nii Odartey-Lamptey are also battling similar cases though in different degrees.

Moses has reportedly been ordered to sell off four of his houses to compensate his former wife while Odartey-Lamptey is in court looking to kill off his marriage after finding out the three children between him and his wife are not his.
