Spanish football giants Barcelona have offered trials to highly rated Ghanaian left- back David Oduro.
The gifted 17 year is currently in the books of Ghana Premier League outfit Accra Lions; where he joined from Desideros FC just two seasons ago.
The big opportunity does not come entirely as a surprise as it is believed that Barcelona have been closely monitoring Oduro who was judged the best defender in the KGL Ghana U-17 Championship in 2022.
The Spanish club had to wait for Oduro who was initially set to sign for English Premiership side Chelsea in January.
However, following successful trials in London, Oduro’s manager Yussif Worjoor Abubakar and CMG Sports agent Anthony Acheampong received a call from the Catalan giants who offered a once in a lifetime opportunity to the player in spain.
After further consultations, a chance at a shot with Barcelona was deemed too good to turn down by the player’s management.
Oduro who just arrived in Spain, will be assessed whilst training with Barca’s junior side at La Masia.
The trials which was kept on the quiet until the arrival of the Ghanaian, is expected to be concluded by next week.
Oduro was upbeat about his big opportunity ahead of his first training session at La Masia.
“It is every player’s dream to play for a big club like Barcelona and I am no different. Once I’m here I will do my best and see what happens.”
