Asante Kotoko are stepping up plans to reinforce their squad as they close in on a potential move for Nations FC midfielder Prince Badu ahead of the league’s resumption.
Kotoko currently sit top of the Ghana Premier League standings with 30 points from 16 matches, holding a slim advantage on goal difference.
The 25-year-old is emerging as a key January target, with the Porcupine Warriors keen to strengthen their engine room for the second half of the campaign.
Badu has been a regular for Nations FC this season, featuring in 13 league games and making headlines with a late winner in a 2-1 victory over Heart of Lions.
Kotoko view the potential acquisition as both a boost to their midfield depth and a tactical move in the title race.
With just one fixture left before the end of the first round, sources indicate discussions between the clubs are progressing well.
The Reds are eager to wrap up the deal swiftly to maintain momentum at the summit.
