He has therefore indicated that his aim is not just to secure a place in the Hearts of Oak team, but also to end up getting Avram Grant’s call-up.
“I am coming to revive Hearts of Oak to the level I left them. I am a different Dong Bortey to help the young players, but not to cause any troubles. I have already started training with Hearts of Oak and I am not expecting any signing on fee,” he told Happy FM.
“At the moment my target is not Olympics, Kotoko, but I want to play for the Black Stars. They should give me an opportunity to display my capabilities. After all I am also a Ghanaian. I can play actively, is it the running or the football?”
