Karela United on the verge signing Paul Aidoo from Medeama

Newly-Promoted Ghana Premier League side Karela United are "on the verge" of signing Medeama defender Paul Aidoo, GHANAsoccernet.com can exclusively report.

The towering centre-back is one of the transfer window's most wanted men, and while it was first Aduana Stars and then Hearts of Oak that seemed in the box seat to sign the defender, United seems to have gazumped both clubs.

GHANAsoccernet.com can reveal the former Ghana Under-17 captain is in the camp of the newly-promoted side, trying to negotiate a deal.

Karela United have the financial warchest to challenge any of the top Premier League clubs for the services of the powerful defender.

Medeama are waiting in the wings to cash-in on the centre-back who has spent two seasons in Tarkwa.

It appears the Mauve and Yellows are ready to do business and will allow him to leave only for the right offer.
