Medeama beats Kotoko to sign Salim Adams
Medeama SC have pulled off a major transfer coup by completing the signing of former Hearts of Oak midfielder Salim Adams, GHANAsoccernet.com can exclusively confirm.
The 22-year-old, who was heavily linked with Asante Kotoko and also drew interest from clubs in Canada and Israel, has instead committed his future to the Ghanaian champions.
His arrival comes as Medeama step up their squad strengthening ahead of the new Ghana Premier League season.
Adams became one of the most sought-after free agents on the local market after running down his Hearts contract earlier this year, despite the Phobians tabling an extension offer.
Kotoko were reported to have opened discussions with their camp, but Medeama moved swiftly to secure the deal, underlining their determination to reclaim the Ghana league title and compete strongly in Africa.
Known for his physicality, tough tackling and ball-winning qualities, Adams broke onto the scene with Hearts in 2021 before securing a loan spell with Major League Soccer side FC Cincinnati.
On his return, he impressed with goals and assists, even with limited playing time in his final season in Accra.
Although Medeama are yet to officially unveil their new signing, sources confirm the deal is sealed.
Adams’ addition is expected to bolster their midfield options as the Mauve and Yellow aim to consolidate their growing dominance in Ghanaian football.
