I couldn’t even buy a bicycle with my Hearts of Oak salary – Fatawu Mohammed

Hearts of Oak captain Fatawu Mohammed claims that his modest pay at the club did not even allow him to purchase a bicycle.

The defender has one more year left on his two-year contract with Hearts of Oak, which was renewed on the final day of 2021.

But the club has informed the player that he does not feature in the plans of the club and is free to leave Hearts of Oak in the January transfer window.

Since that news surfaced the player has gone on a tirade against the club as he has made a lot of unguarded comments about his current employers.

According to the player, he was only living from hand to mouth as his monthly salary was not enough to save for any development.

He says the only good thing that came his way at Hearts was  earning  a Black Stars call up and nothing else.

 

“I didn’t get even a bicycle from Hearts of Oak. I bought my car with Black Stars qualification bonus.

“The only thing I earned from Hearts of Oak SC was the call-up I had to the Black Stars team.

“I couldn’t buy anything with my salary at Hearts of Oak. It was a hand-to-mouth salary,” Fatawu Mohammed told Saddick Adams Obama on his YouTube channel.

Fatawu Mohammed, 30, is one of the longest-serving players currently at Hearts of Oak and helped them end their more than a decade-long trophy drought with the league and FA Cup two- seasons ago.

He joined Hearts of Oak in 2013 from Real Tamale United.
