Defender Vincent Atinga, Isaac Oduro, Isaah Hamza, South African Shaun October, Emmanuel Tawiah all formalised their deals while Dreams FC duo of Issah Mumuni and Seidu Mutawakilu reportedly signed deals.

Sekondi Hasaacas striker Richard Yamoah and attacker Kwame Kizito are also expected to deal their deals until Tuesday due to the national holiday.
