Ghanaian winger Abdul Aziz Issah has drawn parallels between his playstyle and that of Barcelona’s emerging star, Lamine Yamal, following his recent transfer to the Spanish club.
Issah, who has signed a one-season deal with an option to buy, made these remarks during his unveiling alongside fellow Ghanaian David Oduro.
Issah’s transfer to Barcelona follows an impressive season with Dreams FC, notably in the CAF Confederation Cup. Reflecting on this new chapter, the 19-year-old expressed his excitement and gratitude for joining the club he has supported since childhood.
“It’s a great feeling and a massive joy for me. I have been supporting this club for a very long time since childhood, and being here, being part of this club, I am very grateful for my management, my team, and everything they have done. I can’t wait to get started,” Issah said.
He further compared his style to Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal, stating, “I describe myself as a Lamine Yamal type of player—left-footed, who likes shooting and attacking. Yes, that’s how Aziz is.”
Issah will start his journey with Barcelona B, aiming to impress and earn a spot in the first team under manager Hansi Flick.
