Liverpool recently signed 17-year-old wonderkid Abdul Fatawu Issahaku from Ghanaian club Steadfast FC and he has already shown signs of why the Reds paid a reported €1m for him.
Playing in his first game for the Ghana national team in March of 2021 against Uzbekistan, Fatawu went on a mazy run that awed everyone watching. Here's a closer look.
Fatawu picked up the ball in his own half and beat an Uzbekistan midfielder
Easily outpacing the player
Before turning inside surrounded by 3 players
And splitting them with a sublime touch
He ended it by beating the last defender with another brilliant cut
But was brought down in the process, winning a dangerous free-kick
While there is a long time before he is ready for the Reds, these kind of flashes at the international level are excellent markers for how good the young star could be.
