Hearts of Oak are on the verge of signing highly-rated Emmanuel Adebayor-like striker Foovi Aguidi.

The 23-year-old is already in the country to negotiate and sign a contract to join the Phobians .

Aguidi emerged the second top scorer in last season's Burkina Faso top flight where he scored 12 goals for Santos FC.

Goalkeeper Abdoulaye Soulama recommended the striker to Hearts of Oak officials who are eager to get a hitman after missing out on signing Ahmed Toure.

Foovi has been linked with moves to Belgium and France but needs a bigger platform to advertise his immense skills.

Hearts' Public Relations Officer says they are poised to complete and sign a deal with the Togolese having received enough information on his exploits.

“He will not undergo trials here,” he told GHANAsoccernet.com.

“We have analyzed video clips of him and we have been impressed and therefore we only want to sign him.”

The Phobians want to strengthen their forward line ahead of the start of the new season.

Hearts have struggled for a prolific striker since the departure of Mahatma Otoo in 2013.
