Asante Kotoko are on the verge of finalizing the signing of highly-rated Berekum Chelsea defender Patrick Asiedu during the ongoing transfer window.

The 21-year-old left-back has been impressive for Berekum Chelsea, who finished third in the recent Ghana Premier League season.

His standout performances have drawn interest from multiple top-flight clubs, but it appears Kotoko have secured his services.

Reports indicate that Kotoko and Berekum Chelsea have agreed on the terms of the transfer.

Asiedu is expected to travel to Kumasi to undergo his medical examination before officially signing a three-year contract with Kotoko, which will keep him at the club until 2027.

This move is part of Kotoko's strategy to strengthen their squad following a disappointing sixth-place finish in the previous season.

The Porcupine Warriors are aiming to make a significant impact in the upcoming Ghana Premier League season and are looking to Asiedu to bolster their defensive options.
