The former Black Stars coach believes the highly rated youngster will take the Africa Cup of Nations by storm when given the opportunity
Former Ghana coach Charles Kwablah Akonnor has tipped youngster Abdul Fatawu Issahaku to be an instant hit at the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations holding in Cameroon.
The 17-year-old has been on top form in Ghana Premier League, scoring five goals and was adjudged the Player of the Month of November.
Fatawu shot to fame last year when he helped the Black Satellites to win 2021 Africa U20 Cup of Nations.
“If you get a chance as a youngster. You should be ready. What he did with the U-20 is graduation,” Akonnor told Happy FM.
“When he came to the Black Stars, I integrated him gradually. He stands a big chance to show his talent if he gets the opportunity and I believe he will be the best among the lot,” he added.
Ghana have arrived in Cameroon after holding a two-week training session in Doha, Qatar. They will play their first game of the tournament against Morocco on Monday before facing Gabon and Comoros.
