Former Asante Kotoko defender Joseph Ablorh is poised to stay in the Ghana Premier League, with sources indicating a move to arch-rivals Hearts of Oak is imminent.
This development comes just days after Asante Kotoko surprisingly terminated his contract.
The experienced 27-year-old centre-back, who had six months remaining on his deal, is expected to arrive in Accra in the coming days to advance talks.
Negotiations between the player, his management, and Hearts of Oak are reportedly in an advanced stage and progressing well, raising optimism that a deal could be finalised soon.
However, the defender’s path to this potential high-profile transfer has been contentious. The circumstances of his abrupt departure from Kotoko, officially described as being in the “best interest of the club”, remain unclear, as no detailed explanation was provided. Ablorh’s own representatives have publicly disputed the club’s version of events, threatening legal action to defend the player’s reputation.
While Hearts of Oak appear to be the frontrunner, reports also suggest that Ablorh is in parallel talks with Berekum Chelsea as he carefully weighs his options before making a final decision on his next club.
