In recent months, Barcelona has increased its efforts on the African market – in particular, for highly qualified youngsters who play throughout the continent. Earlier this week, the arrival of Aziz Issah from Dreams FC was confirmed, and he won't be the only Ghanian teenager to make the move.

Barcelona announced the signature of David Oduro, 18 years old. The powerful left-back has signed a three-year contract in the Catalan capital, which will keep him at the club until the end of the 2026-27 season.
Like Issah, Oduro will initially be deployed for Barca Atletic. If he impresses for the club in the coming months, there could be a chance he will be promoted to the first team at the end of this season.
Barcelona they have high hopes for Oduro, who reaffirms the club's commitment to signing talented young Africans. It remains to be seen how he will adapt to life in Spanish football, but if he can do so successfully, he will be one to watch.
