Enterprising Ghanaian forward Abdul Fatawu Issahaku leaves to join Sporting CP in Portugal
Highly-rated teenage sensation, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku has officially joined Portuguese powerhouse, Sporting CP, to continue his development.
Issahaku is expected to begin training with the club’s Under-23 side early next week, which could serve as the medium to work his way up into the senior side.
The 18-year-old was a member of Ghana’s Under-20 side that won the Africa Cup of Nations last year in Mauritania, where he won the Most Valuable Player of the tournament while scoring twice for the Black Satellites en route to winning the title.
His stellar performances in the competition as well as his eye-catching displays for Division One side, Steadfast FC saw him secure a loan move to Ghana Premier League side, Dreams FC.
While playing in the Ghana Premier League for the first time this season, Issahaku found the back on the net six times for the Still Believe lads prior to making the Black Stars final squad for the just-ended 2021 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] in Cameroon.
The youngster started just one game at the continental showpiece in Cameroon, while making cameo appearances against Morocco and Gabon as Ghana exited the competition in the group stage.
Issahaku has previously been linked to some of Europe’s heavyweight clubs including but the nimble-footed attacking midfielder left the country last night to join the defending Portuguese champions.
