Highest Paid Player in Ghana Premier League 2026/27: What We Know
The highest paid player in the Ghana Premier League for 2026/27 cannot be named with certainty. The best public guide is the PFAG, which said top monthly wages reach GH¢18,000 to GH¢21,000.
That figure came from Yussif Chibsah, head of player relations at the players' union, in February 2025. Only one named star has a reported figure: Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Benjamin Asare.

Ghanaian football does not leak wages the way English football does. Even Chibsah would not go into detail on air.
"These salaries I can not mention on radio," he told Sporty FM, as reported by Modern Ghana on 12 February 2025. What he did offer was a range: the lowest pay he had heard of was GH¢400 a month, and the highest stood between GH¢18,000 and GH¢21,000, with Hearts of Oak, Asante Kotoko and Medeama "sometimes" coming close to that ceiling.

In July 2026 Hearts denied putting any price on him. "Any figures currently circulating are speculative," the club said.
