Ghana Premier League champions Bibiani Gold Stars are on the verge of completing a deal for former Nsoatreman FC centre-back Emmanuel Ankrah, as the club steps up preparations for their maiden appearance in the CAF Champions League.
Sources close to the club indicate that negotiations are at an advanced stage, with only a few minor details left to finalise before the transfer is completed.
Ankrah, known for his commanding presence and defensive organisation, previously worked under head coach Frimpong Manso during their stint together at Bofoakwa Tano in the 2023/24 season. That existing relationship is said to be a major driving force behind the move, with Manso keen on reuniting with the reliable defender.
The 27-year-old is seen as a valuable addition to Gold Stars’ backline, with his experience and leadership expected to play a key role as the team competes on both domestic and continental fronts.
Ankrah’s familiarity with Manso’s tactical approach and expectations could offer the team stability at the back, particularly in the high-pressure environment of the CAF Champions League.
Gold Stars, who shocked many by clinching their first-ever Premier League title last season, are eager to reinforce their squad with quality additions ahead of what promises to be a historic and challenging 2025/26 campaign.
