Kwame Baah trains with Hearts of Oak as ex-Kotoko goalkeeper nears switch

Former Asante Kotoko goalkeeper Kwame Baah has started training with Hearts of Oak, signaling that a deal with the Phobians is close to completion.

Baah, who spent several seasons with Kotoko, was once seen as a long-term option for the Porcupine Warriors between the sticks. However, after leaving the Kumasi giants, the experienced shot-stopper is now on the verge of joining their bitterest rivals. His decision to train with Hearts of Oak has sparked excitement among fans, with many already labeling it a bold and dramatic switch.

The 27-year-old is expected to add depth and competition to Hearts of Oak’s goalkeeping department as coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani looks to strengthen key areas of his squad ahead of the 2025/26 season.

Baah’s arrival would also inject more spice into the fierce Kotoko–Hearts of Oak rivalry, with both clubs battling for supremacy in Ghanaian football.

For Hearts of Oak, luring a player with Kotoko ties is always symbolic, and Baah’s potential signing could give them an edge in both experience and mental fortitude. For Kotoko supporters, however, seeing a former trusted goalkeeper join the Phobians may sting, as it adds yet another layer of intrigue to upcoming Super Clash encounters.

With talks progressing well, the deal is expected to be finalised in the coming days — setting up what could be one of the most dramatic rival-crossing transfers in recent years.
