Former Asante Kotoko defender Joseph Ablorh is set to remain in the Ghana Premier League, with a high-profile move to arch-rivals Hearts of Oak reportedly close to completion.
Ablorh’s potential transfer comes just days after Kotoko unexpectedly terminated his contract, with six months still remaining on his deal. The 27-year-old centre-back is expected to arrive in Accra soon to advance negotiations, which are said to be in advanced stages.
While Hearts of Oak appear to be leading the race, sources indicate that Berekum Chelsea have also shown interest, leaving Ablorh weighing his options carefully before committing to his next club.
The circumstances surrounding his sudden exit from Kotoko remain contentious. The club cited the termination as being in the “best interest of the club,” but provided no further details. Ablorh’s representatives have publicly challenged this explanation and have threatened legal action to protect the player’s reputation.
If finalized, the move to Hearts of Oak would mark a significant chapter in Ablorh’s career, as he would switch directly to a traditional rival while aiming to make an immediate impact in the league.
