Barcelona’s rising Ghanaian talent, David Oduro, is set to take another big step in his promising career as he joins the first-team training session on Thursday. The 19-year-old left-back has impressed head coach Hansi Flick with his stellar performances for Barcelona B, earning him the opportunity to train with the senior side ahead of their La Liga clash against Celta Vigo.

Oduro has been turning heads in Spain since his summer arrival from Accra Lions in Ghana. His journey has been a testament to hard work and raw talent, which shone brightly in recent games against CD Lugo and SD Amorebieta. These displays built on an impressive debut against Real Sociedad B, further solidifying his reputation as a player to watch.

This isn’t Oduro’s first exposure to Barcelona’s first team, having trained with the senior squad shortly after arriving at the club. His quick adaptation to Spanish football and his ability to make overlapping runs, beat defenders in one-on-one situations, and combine effectively with teammates have made him a standout performer.

Oduro’s roots lie in the Accra Lions’ youth development program, where he broke into the first team during the 2022/23 season. His journey from Ghana’s Premier League to one of Europe’s biggest clubs underscores his immense potential and the growing influence of African talent in global football.

With his latest call-up, David Oduro inches closer to making a name for himself at the top level, a dream that every young footballer aspires to achieve.
