Ghanaian defender David Oduro has expressed his excitement after joining FC Barcelona, where he is set to start his journey with the Spanish giants.
Oduro, who signed a contract with Barcelona until 2027, made the switch from Accra Lions in the Ghana Premier League this summer. The 18-year-old left-back was one of the standout performers in the league last season, attracting interest from top European clubs.
Following successful trials with both Chelsea and Barcelona, the Catalan club secured his signature.
In an interview with Sporty TV, Oduro shared his joy at joining the prestigious club: “I am very happy because getting this opportunity is not easy, especially coming from Ghana.”
