Asante Kotoko have reached an agreement with FC Samartex for the transfer of defensive midfielder Lord Hilary Adabo ahead of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season.

The two clubs have settled on a transfer fee of GH¢200,000, with personal terms between the player and Kotoko expected to be finalised by Thursday.

Once concluded, the midfielder will sign a long-term contract with the Kumasi-based giants.

Adabo, known for his strength, ball recovery and composure under pressure, was one of the standout performers for Samartex last season.
