Early career
In October 2016, aged 13, whilst Baah was at Crystal Palace, he caused controversy as a ball boy in a match against fellow London rivals West Ham United when he tried to stop the opponents time wasting by placing the ball in the six yard area for the goalkeeper Adrián. Baah was released by Crystal Palace at 14. He has credited that moment as a turning point in his development, admitting he didn't take many things seriously and knew he needed to change.
