Rashid Alhassan
Ghanaguardian.com can exclusively reveal that a host of unnamed top-flight clubs in Italy and the United Kingdom are battling for the signature of Ghana U 17 Star Rashid Alhassan.
The defender was one of Ghana’s star performers at the just ended FIFA U 17 World Cup in India where the Starlets exited at the quarter-finals stage.
Rashid is contracted to current Ghana Premier League Champions Aduana Stars, However with a host of top European clubs queuing up for his services it will not be surprising to see the Dormaa-based club losing one of their most exciting prospects.
Speaking to Ghanaguardian.com, Rashid confirmed the interests but remained tight-lipped on his possible destination; “Yes, clubs from Italy and U.K have shown interest is signing me and I will let everything come out after we are done will all the necessary documentation and paperwork” – he said.
Rashid is an exciting modern day left-back who likes to join the attack and can defend as well. His ability to dribble past players and deliver quality crosses has drawn comparisons with Real Madrid’s Marcelo, not a bad compliment for a 17-year-old.
In an era where the left back position has been a bit of problem for the senior national team the Black Stars, the rise of young Rashid Alhassan could signal the sign of an answered prayer.
