Ghana’s wonderkid Abdul Fatawu Issahaku is close to agreeing a deal with German club, Bayer Leverkusen according to multiple reports.

Issahaku captained Ghana’s U-17, the Black Starlets in the Wafu B U17 Cup of Nations in Togo in January this year.

Following his outstanding performance in that tournament, the 17-year old earned a call-up to the U-20 team that won the AFCON tournament in Mauritania.

He was also awarded the most valuable player in the competition and made the Best XI of the tournament
Issahaku scored twice at the tournament in Mauritania; amongst his goals, a deadly pile driver from long-range, as Ghana pipped Uganda to the trophy.

The 17-year-old has also been linked to Udinese, Nordsjaelland and Red Bull Salzburg.
The winger who plays for second-tier side Steadfast FC, is currently in Germany where he has already sealed a deal with kit manufacturing company Nike.

He has been named in a 30-man squad for Ghana’s upcoming friendly fixtures against Morocco and Cote d’Ivoire next month, where he will look to make his debut for the side.
