The 21-year-old will sign for Zurich in the coming days after passing his medical examination since an agreement has been reached between Hearts and the Swiss club.

The Phobians will receive a training and compensation fee of around US$150,000 from Zurich once the transfer is completed.

Afriyie Barnieh has been the subject of interest from clubs in Africa, Europe, and America following his spell with the Ghana national team at the World Cup in Qatar.

The highly-rated footballer scored three goals in four matches to propel the Black Galaxies to seal qualification for the CHAN tournament.

He was also involved in Ghana U23 as he scored in both legs in their qualifying match against Mozambique a few months back.

Afriyie Barnieh signed for Hearts in July 2019 and went ahead to become a mainstay in the team having played an integral role in the club’s double triumph in the 2020-21 campaign.
