Dreams FC have announced the departure of their young prodigy, Abdul Aziz Issah, to Spanish giants, Barcelona. The 18-year-old sensation, who recently clinched a gold medal at the 2023 African Games with the Black Satellites, is set to continue his football journey in Spain. His move highlights his growing reputation as one of the best young talents on the African continent.
Issah’s transfer marks the second time this window that a player from the Ghana League has joined Barcelona, following in the footsteps of fellow Ghanaian David Oduro, who made the move earlier this summer. This trend underscores the increasing recognition of Ghanaian football talent on the global stage and Dreams FC’s role in nurturing such promising players.
During his time with Dreams FC, Issah was a standout performer, particularly in the 2023/24 CAF Confederation Cup season. His impressive record of four goals and two assists in ten games contributed significantly to the team’s success. His prowess on the field did not go unnoticed, earning him accolades and the attention of top European scouts.
Isaac’s contributions were equally commendable in the Ghana Premier League, where he was involved in a remarkable 17 goals. Scoring seven goals and providing ten assists proved to be an indispensable asset to Dreams FC. His departure will undoubtedly be felt by the team, but it also opens up opportunities for other young talents to step up and shine.
His journey serves as an inspiration to many young players in Ghana and across Africa, showcasing that with talent, hard work, and determination, reaching the pinnacle of football is attainable.
