Berekum Chelsea’s rising star Kwesi Sorotu Badori continues to attract significant attention both locally and internationally, as clubs across Europe and Africa line up to secure the signature of one of Ghana’s brightest young prospects.
At just 17 years old, Sorotu has enjoyed a remarkable debut season in the Ghana Premier League, starting 28 out of 33 games for Berekum Chelsea and registering a goal — an impressive return for a player operating primarily as a defensive midfielder.
His standout performances, fueled by strength, stamina, and tactical awareness, have drawn comparisons to former Ghana international Michael Essien, with observers praising his maturity and influence on the pitch.
Despite reports linking him to Swiss side FC Basel, sources close to the player have dismissed claims of a pre-contract agreement. Sorotu’s camp has reiterated that the midfielder is fully focused on completing the season with Berekum Chelsea, and no decision has yet been made regarding his future.
“He is committed to finishing the season strong,” a source confirmed. “There are several options on the table, but no deal has been signed.”
Born on January 1, 2008, Sorotu will turn 18 at the start of 2026, making him eligible for a move abroad under FIFA’s transfer rules. A final decision on his next destination is expected in the coming months, as interest continues to mount.
In the meantime, Asante Kotoko and other local giants have reportedly explored the possibility of bringing him in on a short-term loan, fully aware of his talent and the potential impact he could make.
With multiple European scouts monitoring his progress, Sorotu’s next steps are being closely watched. One thing is certain — wherever he lands, the club will be signing a high-potential gem with all the makings of a future international star.
