Career
Tagoe earned top scorer in the Ghana Telecom Premier League in the 2004/05 season[2]. In January 2006, a transfer from his Ghanaian club Accra Hearts of Oak Sporting Club to the German Bundesliga team 1. FSV Mainz 05 failed because the former team did not release him in time[3]. Instead he transferred to the Saudi-Arabian club Al Ittihad[4]. On 9 June 2009, Tagoe signed a three year contract with the Bundesliga side TSG 1899 Hoffenheim [5], although he was was released from his contract on 1 August 2009 after only 51 days due to heart issues[6]. Tagoe's lawyer is contesting the dismissal as a second opinion did not yield evidence of a heart condition. [7]
