Hearts of Oak's pursuit of talented midfielder Abdul Karim has hit a potential snag, as a Tunisian club has stepped in with a late attempt to hijack the deal.
Karim, who recently was believed to have completed his medical with the Phobians, was widely expected to sign and seal his move this week.
However, fresh interest from North Africa has left his transfer hanging in the balance.
Reports indicate that the Tunisian side has made direct contact with the player's representatives, hoping to lure him away from the Ghana Premier League giants with an improved offer.
