If not for Hearts of Oak’s ongoing transfer challenges, Abdul Aziz would have been a near-perfect signing for the Phobians.
The Swedru All Blacks left-back embodies everything required of a modern defender — explosive pace, tactical awareness, quality delivery, and solid defensive discipline.
At this moment, Aziz stands out as the best left-back in the Ghana Premier League, and the gap between him and his closest competitors is significant.
Compared to Patrick Asiedu and Joseph Amoah of Asante Kotoko, Aziz operates on a different level. His ability to stretch play, deliver accurate crosses, and still recover defensively makes him a complete full-back — the type every ambitious club needs.
This is not just a defender who hugs the touchline; Aziz influences games. He offers consistent attacking output while remaining reliable at the back, a balance that is increasingly rare in the local league.
Think Ovouka — energetic, fearless, and effective. Abdul Aziz fits that profile perfectly.
It is therefore no surprise that Coach Didi Dramani is monitoring him closely. However, Hearts of Oak’s current instability in the transfer market could once again see them miss out on a top domestic talent — a scenario that has become all too familiar.
If Hearts are serious about rebuilding and competing at the highest level, players like Abdul Aziz should not be slipping through their fingers.
