David Oduro, a 17-year-old left back from Ghana, is making waves in the football world as he trains with FC Barcelona's Juvenil B team. The young talent has caught the attention of German football legend Lothar Matthaus, who has likened Oduro to the highly-regarded Alphonso Davies for his speed and attacking prowess.
Matthaus, who recently invested in Oduro's club, the Accra Lions, is part of a venture aimed at bringing promising young players to Europe. Oduro's impressive performances at Chelsea have also contributed to his growing reputation.
With interest from top clubs like Bayern Munich, Oduro's future looks promising. Bayern, who could potentially lose Davies to Real Madrid, are reportedly eyeing Oduro as a potential replacement. Barca, on the other hand, are keen on securing the young talent to bolster their squad.
Barca's past decision to pass on Davies, a move that the player himself found disappointing, could be rectified by signing Oduro. The Ghanaian prospect, who will turn 18 in December, is free to negotiate with any club of his choice.
As the football world eagerly awaits Oduro's next move, it remains to be seen whether he will follow in the footsteps of his idol Alphonso Davies and make a significant impact on the European football scene.
