Asante Kotoko have reached a full agreement with FC Samartex for the signing of highly-rated defensive midfielder Lord Hilary Adabo in a deal worth GH¢200,000.

The 21-year-old, who was one of the standout performers in last season's Ghana Premier League, has accepted personal terms with the Porcupine Warriors and will undergo his medical on Monday before putting pen to paper on a four-year contract.

Adabo joined Samartex from Real Tamale United ahead of the 2023/24 campaign and quickly became a midfield mainstay, making 33 appearances out of 34 league matches.

His strong tackling, composure on the ball, and work rate earned him the nickname "Midfield Lord" among fans of the Timber Boys.
