Dreams FC head coach Abdul Karim Zito has described Ghanaian youngster Abdul Fatawu Issahaku as the country’s next Abedi Pele and has therefore called on Ghanaian match officials to protect him.
The Black Stars winger put up a splendid performance to help the Still Believe lads draw against Great Olympics last Sunday in matchday 4 of the Ghana Premier League.
He bagged a brace to increase his tally to four in the ongoing season and subsequently earn the man of the match prize.
Speaking in a post-match interview after their 3-3 draw against the Olympics, Coach Zito indicated that Issahaku had the talent to reach the heights of Abedi Pele who was arguably the best player Ghana had produced in its football history.
He has therefore called on referees to protect the former Steadfast FC player with most opponents normally devising strategies to get him injured which could be a big blow for the country as a whole.
“Fatawu is the next Abedi Pele and the referees have to guide him and this is what they do in Europe especially when a player comes out.
“Definitely clubs would come with a plan against him just to injure him and at the end of the day Ghana loses and I pray God to protect him from injuries,” he said.
