Bayer Leverkusen, the reigning German champions, have set their sights on securing the signature of Ghanaian teenage sensation Abdul Aziz Issah, as exclusively reported by GHANAsoccernet.com. This interest comes after their unsuccessful attempt to sign Fatawu Ishahaku from Ghana two years ago.
Abdul Aziz Issah, 18, gained widespread attention from various European clubs during Dreams FC’s impressive campaign in the CAF Confederation Cup last season. He notably contributed four goals and two assists in the competition, aiding his team’s journey to the tournament’s semi-finals.
Following his exploits, Bayer Leverkusen has been closely monitoring Issah’s development and views him as a potential replacement for Ishahaku, who is currently on loan at Premier League outfit Leicester City. Leverkusen officials have initiated discussions with Dreams FC regarding a possible transfer and are optimistic about reaching an agreement soon.
Nevertheless, they face stiff competition from other European clubs vying for Issah’s talents. The outcome hinges on whether Dreams FC will be willing to part ways with their prized asset. If successful, Abdul Aziz Issah looks forward to the prospect of collaborating with manager Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen.
