Asante Kotoko in advanced talks to sign Nations FC midfielder Prince Badu

Ghana Premier League giants Asante Kotoko are actively pursuing the signature of Nations FC defensive midfielder Prince Badu, according to exclusive reports.

The move would see the 25-year-old join the title-chasing Porcupine Warriors from their domestic rivals.

The potential transfer comes with Asante Kotoko sitting top of the league table with 30 points from 16 games, holding a narrow lead on goal difference. With one game remaining in the first round of the season, the club appears determined to bolster its squad for the championship push.

Prince Badu, whose late winner secured a 2-1 victory for Nations FC against Heart of Lions three weeks ago, has made 13 league appearances this season. His current club sits 12th in the standings with 19 points.

This strategic move would strengthen Kotoko's midfield options while weakening a direct competitor, reflecting the club's ambition to maintain their position at the summit of the table. The deal is reportedly in advanced stages as Kotoko push to complete the signing before the league resumes.

If completed, the transfer would mark a significant statement of intent from the league leaders as they prepare for the crucial second half of the 2025/26 campaign.
