Medeama SC head coach Ibrahim Tanko has strongly endorsed midfielder Salim Adams as the leading candidate for the Ghana Premier League Player of the Season award, following a standout campaign that guided the club to the league title.
The 24-year-old has been one of the driving forces behind Medeama’s dominant season, contributing significantly from midfield as they secured the championship with one game to spare. In 28 appearances during the 2025/26 campaign, Adams has scored 12 goals, highlighting his attacking influence from the middle of the park.
Speaking to the club’s media team, Tanko was full of praise for the former Hearts of Oak midfielder, insisting his performances have set him apart across the league.
“Salim Adams deserves the Player of the Season award. If you look at the performance, every coach in Ghana can testify that there is no doubt he is outstanding,” he said.
Tanko also revealed his long-standing relationship with the player, noting his development through the national youth ranks and praising his growth in discipline and mentality.
“I have known him since his time in the U-17 national team. I have also taken him to U-23 tournaments, so I know his abilities and when to push him. We know his strength, power and pace. He listened to our advice and changed his attitude,” Tanko added.
Medeama will wrap up their league campaign with an away fixture against Hearts of Oak at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, but Adams will miss the match after earning a call-up to the Black Stars squad for their international friendly against Mexico.
