Rising Ghanaian star Douglas Owusu has been named in the Serbian Prva Liga Team of the Season, capping off a sensational debut campaign that has turned heads across the league.
At just 19 years old, Owusu made an immediate impact after joining FK Radnik Surdulica, showcasing maturity beyond his years and earning plaudits for his consistency, and technical brilliance.
Deployed primarily as a central midfielder, the young talent played a pivotal role in his side’s impressive league run, contributing both defensively and offensively throughout the season.
Owusu featured in 29 games across all competitions, registering two goals. But beyond the numbers, it was his intelligent positioning, relentless work rate, and confidence on the ball that stood out—traits that quickly made him a fan favorite and a key cog in his coach’s setup.
His inclusion in the Team of the Season is a remarkable achievement, particularly considering this was his first year in European football. Owusu becomes one of the few teenagers to earn such an honor in recent Prva Liga history, underlining the magnitude of his breakout season.
With scouts from top-tier European clubs reportedly tracking his progress, the left footed midfielder’s future looks increasingly bright. Whether he stays in Serbia for another year or secures a move to a higher-profile league, Douglas Owusu has firmly placed himself on the radar as one of Africa’s most promising exports.
