Abdul Aziz Issah expresses joy and pride after joining FC Barcelona from Dreams FC

Ghanaian winger Abdul Aziz Issah has shared his excitement and pride following his transfer to Barcelona from Dreams FC.

Unveiled alongside his compatriot David Oduro on Tuesday, Issah has signed a one-season deal with Barcelona, running until June 30, 2025, with an option to buy.

"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.

The 19-year-old, who impressed with Dreams FC, especially in the CAF Confederation Cup last season, likened his playing style to Barcelona's rising star Lamine Yamal. "I describe myself as a Lamine Yamal type of player—left-footed, who likes shooting and attacking. Yes, that’s how Aziz is," he added.

Issah will initially play for Barcelona B, the club’s reserve team, with aspirations of catching the eye of first-team manager Hansi Flick.
