While Burkina Faso fans are unhappy about the Stallions' elimination from the 2015 AFCON tournament, Ghana Premier League giants Hearts of Oak would be smiling inwardly.

This is because their experienced goalkeeper Abdoulaye Soulama would be rejoining the side for their First Capital Plus league campaign.

Hearts have literally been struggling with goalkeeping problems since the start of the Ghana Premier League season as they have conceded seven (7) goals in three (3) games.

They have switched between two keeper Tetteh Luggard and Seidu Mutawakil and clearly need the experience of the 34-year-old who joined them from arch-rivals Asante Kotoko.

Soulama is expected to fly to Ghana to join his Hearts of Oak team-mates next week and probably take over the first choice gloves.

He was unused by Burkina during their campaign in the AFCON tournament.
