Ghanaian youngster Abraham Baffour finally had the chance to meet his idol, Thiago Silva, while training with the first team of Brazilian club Fluminense.

The 19-year-old winger has been playing for Fluminense’s U20 team since joining the club in October 2023. With his sights set on breaking into the first team ahead of the 2024/25 season, Baffour’s impressive performances with the youth squad earned him a spot in first-team training, where he met the former AC Milan, PSG, and Chelsea defender.

Thiago Silva, who returned to Brazil at the end of last season to rejoin his boyhood club, has had a distinguished career in Europe, winning multiple titles including the 2021 UEFA Champions League with Chelsea. He is anticipated to bring inspiration and leadership to Fluminense in the upcoming campaign.
