The emergence of 18-year-old Abdul Aziz Issah has captured attention during Dreams FC’s impressive CAF Confederation Cup campaign, where they stand on the brink of reaching the semifinals.

Issah’s stellar performances, yielding 4 goals and 2 assists in the competition, have earned lavish praise from his Head Coach, Abdul-Karim Zito, who boldly draws comparisons with the legendary Abedi Ayew Pele.

Zito asserts that Issah surpasses Abedi Pele’s prowess at the same age, citing, “Abedi Pele was introduced to Aburi at 17, yet at 18, he didn’t exhibit the level of performance Aziz demonstrates.”

Additionally, Zito advocates for Issah’s inclusion in the Black Stars, emphasizing that it’s long overdue, stating, “If I were with the Black Stars, I’d summon him.”

At 18, Abedi Ayew had amassed 46 appearances for Real Tamale United, with 21 goals to his credit. He was also a crucial member of Ghana’s 1982 AFCON-winning squad.

Meanwhile, Aziz Issah, functioning as an attacking midfielder, has notched 11 goals and 4 assists across all competitions for Dreams FC this season. Notably, he played a pivotal role in the Black Satellites’ gold-winning campaign at the African Games.
