Nothing has been set in stone yet but when if there is something concrete, it will be made official.� Kotoko risk loosing the talented defender on a free as his contracts expires in September amidst a flurry of interested clubs. Baah joined the Fabulous lads three seasons ago and played his part in the club�s Premier League feat last term.
