The club’s official statement on Tuesday night reads, “Accra Hearts of Oak has agreed with American-based club, New Mexico United to transfer defender, Raddy Ovouka to them on a 1-year loan deal.

“The Congolese defender still remains a player of Hearts of Oak until New Mexico exercises the right to buy him permanently. We wish him well with his new club.”

Ovouka has become a mainstay in Hearts after joining them 3 seasons ago, helping them to do the double under Samuel Boadu last season.
