Ghana Premier League side Dreams FC has announced the transfer of their rising star, Abdul Aziz Issah, to Spanish giants FC Barcelona. The 18-year-old winger finalized his move on transfer deadline day, marking a significant milestone in the history of Dreams FC.
Issah, recognized by CAF as one of the best young talents on the continent, has been a standout performer for Dreams FC. His impressive goal-scoring record in the Confederation Cup last season, where he netted four goals and provided two assists in 10 games, helped propel Dreams to a historic semi-final berth.
The team only narrowly missed out to eventual winners and Egyptian powerhouse Zamalek.
The young Ghanaian’s domestic performance has been equally remarkable. In the Ghana Premier League last season, Issah made 17 goal contributions, scoring 7 goals and assisting 10. His prowess extended to the FA Cup competition, where he scored four goals in just five games.
Issah’s talent has also shone on the international stage. He played a key role in the Ghana U20 team that clinched gold in the Africa Games, further cementing his status as one of Africa’s most promising young players.
The winger’s journey with Dreams FC began in 2022 when he joined the first team after progressing through the club’s youth ranks, including stints with Still Believe and In God We Trust FC. His rapid rise and subsequent transfer to one of the world’s most prestigious clubs represents a proud moment for Dreams FC.
In their statement, Dreams FC expressed pride in Issah’s achievement and extended their best wishes as he embarks on this new chapter of his career with FC Barcelona.
This transfer not only highlights Issah’s exceptional talent but also showcases the quality of player development in the Ghana Premier League, potentially paving the way for more Ghanaian talents to make their mark on the global stage.
