Mahatma Otoo signs for Norwegian side Sogndal
Hearts of Oak striker Mahatma Otoo has signed for
Norwegian top flight side Sogndal, the 2012/2013
Ghana Premier League top scorer has confirmed via
his Twitter handle.

Otoo flew to Norway after turning down a request
by Belgian side Club Brugge to undergo a week of
trials following successful medicals.

Sogndal had already had Otoo on trials 12 months
ago and that informed the decision to hand him a
contract.

The striker's move has earned mother club Hearts
of Oak a transfer fee in the region of $400,000.

Otoo has expressed his delight with the move,
noting that he hopes to get involved with playing
for the club very soon.

"I am really happy to be in Sogndal and to join
the club from now on. I really appreciate the way
the club presented itself when they came to Ghana.
The interaction with Håvard & Eirik made me feel
very welcome and confident in my decision. The
facilities and the philosophy of Sogndal fits me
very well, and hopefully I can be involved soon!"

Sogdnal, which currently lies ninth on the league
log, is hoping to conclude all paper work so that
Otoo can play against Molde on Saturday on match
day 19 of the Eliteserien.

The former Hearts of oak captain now joins fellow
Ghanaian Gilbert Koomson at the club.
