Reports indicate that, the goalkeeper will enjoy monetary and additional benefits from Unilever.

According to Kumasi-based Kessben FM, the brand will give the shot-stopper a 40% upfront payment of the agreed sponsorship fee, with the remaining 60% to be paid if he makes the squad for the 2026 World Cup.

Asare has been Ghana’s first-choice goalkeeper throughout the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, helping the Black Stars secure eight wins, one loss, and one draw in ten matches. His consistent performance highlights that local players can earn recognition a for their performance on the field.

Though he was an unused substitute for Hearts of Oak in their disappointing 0-0 stalemate with Bechem United in the Ghana Premier League Match Day 21 encounter on Sunday, the former Accra Great Olympics skipper has made 11 appearances for the Phobians in the ongoing campaign.

He kept 13 clean sheets in 26 games last season for Hearts of Oak and was arguably the best goalkeeper at the end of the 2024/25 season.
