Baah was born in Germany to Ghanaian parents, but was raised in South Norwood. [4]
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. [5] 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. [6]

[14] Having undergone a medical with Watford at the end of April and a fee of £125,000 agreed, [15] he officially joined the club on 17 May ahead of their return to the Premier League. [16]
On 13 August 2024, Baah made his debut for Watford in a 5-0 EFL Cup win against MK Dons. He came on as a substitute for Rocco Vata in the 62nd minute and marked his debut by scoring just two minutes later. [17]
On 29 July 2022, Baah joined 2. Bundesliga club Fortuna Düsseldorf on loan for the 2022–23 season. [18]
On 18 August 2023, Baah joined EFL League One club Burton Albion on loan for the 2023–24 season. [19]
