Hearts of Oak Public Relations Officer Opare Addo has confirmed that goalkeeper Benjamin Asares new contract includes a salary increase as part of efforts to secure his long-term commitment to the club.The 32-year-old shot-stopper signed a two-year extension on Thursday that keeps him at the club until 2027.His decision to remain with the Ghana Premier League giants comes despite reported interest from Moroccan powerhouse Raja Casablanca and three unnamed French clubs.The contract extension will offer him an improvement on what he was previously earning, Addo told Asempa FM.For us, once the player is happy with everything that we have offered him, its a good course for us.Asares profile has soared in recent months following a string of impressive performances for the Ghana national team.He kept a clean sheet in his debut match a 5-0 victory over Chad and followed up with another shutout against Madagascar in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.Since joining from Great Olympics in 2024, Asare has established himself as a key figure for both club and country, earning praise for his leadership and consistency.
