Kamaldeen Schlupp steps up from the Hearts of Oak academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Kamaldeen Schlupp has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

David Adjei steps up from the Hearts of Oak academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. David Adjei has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

In brief
