The arrival of Abalora makes Kotoko’s goalkeeping situation more intriguing.
The club now have four national team goalkeepers on their books with Felix Annan and Abalora being members of the Black Stars while Kwame Baah is the lead goalie for the Black Stars B.
Ibrahim Danlad who will now drop to fourth choice is a goalie for the national under-20 team.
Annan has in several interviews expressed frustrations after he lost his role to Kwame Baah at the start of the scrapped 2019/2020 season.
He is likely to consider other options following the arrival of Abalora who was signed on the recommendations of coach Maxwell Konadu.
Abolora was heavily linked with Dreams FC with some conspiracy theorist connecting his Black Stars call-up to Dreams’ reported interest in him.
He joins Kotoko as a free agent following the termination of his contract with Azam FC.
Kotoko are also said to be closing in on former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong.
The 28-year-old is on the verge of signing a 2-year deal with Kotoko.
