Former Asante Kotoko goalkeeper Kwame Baah has begun training with Hearts of Oak, a clear signal that the Phobians are close to securing his signature ahead of the new season.
The 27-year-old, once tipped as a long-term option for Kotoko’s goalkeeping role, is now set for a sensational switch to their arch-rivals. His presence in Hearts’ camp has already stirred excitement among the club’s faithful, with many describing the move as both bold and dramatic.
Baah is expected to provide depth and strong competition in Hearts of Oak’s goalkeeping department as head coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani strengthens his squad for the 2025/26 campaign.
Beyond bolstering the squad, his potential signing adds another layer of intrigue to the Kotoko–Hearts rivalry. For the Phobians, luring a player with deep Kotoko connections is symbolic and could bring valuable experience and resilience. For Kotoko fans, however, the transfer may sting, intensifying anticipation for the next Super Clash.
Talks are believed to be at an advanced stage, with the deal expected to be finalised in the coming days — potentially making Baah’s move one of the most dramatic rival-crossing transfers in recent Ghanaian football history.
