Barcelona told they have their own Bernardo Silva in youth system – he’s now been called up to first-team training

Hansi Flick has called up young midfielder Abdul Aziz Issah to his first-team training session before the Girona clash, claims Sport.

The Ghanaian wonder kid is highly regarded by those who have closely monitored his progress and seen him soar through the Barca youth system.

Ghana football scout Vinyl Tong rates Aziz very highly, as he described him as similar to Bernardo Silva and stated: “Aziz is a very talented playmaker. He can play on both wings and as a midfielder or inside, he is very versatile.

“He uses his speed, ball control and technique to create chances and help the team get over lines. He is very creative and capable of breaking lines and assisting in advanced areas. He reminds me a bit of Bernardo Silva.

“He has a powerful shot, especially from set pieces, which makes him a great goalscoring threat. His agility and quick thinking allow him to manoeuvre in tight spaces, making him a constant threat in attack. His dominant left foot adds precision and control to his game.”

The 18-year-old only joined Barca earlier this month after scoring 12 goals in 61 appearances for Ghana club Dreams FC.
