With the new Ghana Premier League (GPL) campaign set to kick off on the weekend of September 12, 2025, clubs across the top flight are moving quickly to bolster their squads ahead of what promises to be an intense season, especially with the 2026 FIFA World Cup on the horizon.
Reports from GPL statistician Mohammed Shaban indicate Asante Kotoko are reportedly chasing the signature of rising star Benjamin Tsivanyo.
The former Ghana U-17 captain, who has featured for Great Olympics and Nsoatreman FC, is expected to seal a move before the new season kicks off.
In a confirmed move, Berekum Chelsea’s prolific forward Stephen Amankona has signed a three-year deal with Egyptian side Smouha SC. Amankona leaves Ghana as the top scorer of the Premier League for the past two seasons.
Hearts of Oak have also strengthened their defence, announcing the signing of centre-back Ali Mohammed on a two-year contract with an option for an extra year.
Mohammed brings solid experience, having featured for Ashgold, Tamale City, Accra Lions and Vision FC.
The Phobians could add more depth, with former Medeama SC defender Emmanuel Cudjoe currently training with the club and defensive midfielder Nana Kusi Asante of Vision FC also on their radar.
Elsewhere, FC Samartex have completed the signing of Northern City forward Osman Zakaria on a three-year deal, while right back Godfred Poku Wakiii has officially parted ways with Aduana FC.
Medeama SC are keen to land midfielder Alidu Mohammed, a former Legon Cities player who is also attracting interest from at least three other Premier League sides.
This season will see champions Bibiani Gold Stars SC attempt to defend their crown, while newly promoted sides Techiman Eleven Wonders, Swedru All Blacks United and Hohoe United prepare to test themselves at the highest level.
The 2025/26 season runs through May 2026, wrapping up just in time for players to join up with their national teams ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America.
