Transfer targets26 Jul 2027
The deal with Liberty Professionals is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Elvis Manu in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Berekum Chelsea this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Transfer targets26 Jul 2027
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.
Squad26 Jul 2027
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Patrick Egeonu was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Transfer targets26 Jul 2027
Berekum Chelsea have made the call to Medeama. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.
Transfer targets26 Jul 2027
A loan enquiry to Asante Kotoko: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.
The dugout26 Jul 2027
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Augustine Agyapong trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market12 Jul 2027
The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Berekum Chelsea people have started saying his name in the past tense.
The terraces12 Jul 2027
Vincent Klu Adjeu has gone, the accounts have $69.0K in them, and the supporters have the feeling of having been sold something themselves. Good business and a good decision are not always the same thing.
Market12 Jul 2027
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Berekum Chelsea, and it is not being withdrawn.
Squad12 Jul 2027
Edwin Asamoah and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Market12 Jul 2027
Great Olympics paid $69.0K and Berekum Chelsea took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.
Transfer targets12 Jul 2027
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Real Bamako have kept their man, and Berekum Chelsea go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Squad12 Jul 2027
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Kwesi Sorotu Badori was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Squad12 Jul 2027
A muscle injury sidelines Charles Agyemang for 15 days
Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Berekum Chelsea will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Market14 Jun 2027
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Berekum Chelsea have lost him in all but the paperwork.
Market14 Jun 2027
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Berekum Chelsea can pretend not to have heard.
Squad14 Jun 2027
At 21 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.
Squad14 Jun 2027
Elvis Manu and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
Transfer targets14 Jun 2027
Berekum Chelsea asked and NK Maribor said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
Squad14 Jun 2027
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Johnson Amuzu was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

A loan move for Oscar Destiny is in the works
Berekum Chelsea have made the call to Barau. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The shop window has Marvin Owusu in it
Berekum Chelsea have let the market know Marvin Owusu can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Berekum Chelsea have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Johnson Amuzu falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
Market7 Jun 2027
“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

A loan move for Benjamin Tetteh is in the works
Berekum Chelsea have made the call to NK Maribor. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.
Market7 Jun 2027
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Berekum Chelsea know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
Boardroom7 Jun 2027
Open for business: Berekum Chelsea enter the window
The registration window is open and the phone has started. Between now and the deadline this club will be linked with forty players and sign three, which is the usual ratio.

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Fataho Nerie and Berekum Chelsea agree another 3 years.

Elvis Manu knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Berekum Chelsea, and both men came out saying it was fine.
The dugout31 May 2027
Something was said to Mohammed Seidu and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.
The dugout31 May 2027
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Berekum Chelsea have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
Market28 Dec 2026
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.
Match26 Dec 2026
The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Berekum Chelsea are no longer polite ones.
Squad28 Dec 2026
Evans Botchway and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
Match26 Dec 2026
3 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Berekum Chelsea can tell you which week it ends in.
Squad28 Dec 2026
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Johnson Amuzu was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Match26 Dec 2026
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
The dugout28 Dec 2026
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.
The dugout28 Dec 2026
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Kennedy Mensah, and the manager let it.
