Ghanaian keeper Abdulai Iddrisu earns joint-top most valuable goalkeepers in Ethiopian premier league

Ghanaian goalkeeper Abdulai Iddrisu is enjoying a remarkable spell in the Ethiopian Premier League, with his consistency and composure earning him individual recognition and growing admiration across the division.

The 28-year-old began 2026 in outstanding fashion, clinching the Goalkeeper of the Month award for January after a series of commanding displays for Negela Arsi FC. His fine form has shown no signs of slowing, with his performances in February placing him joint-top among the league’s 10 most valuable goalkeepers.

Iddrisu, who previously featured for Bechem United in Ghana and later had stints with Azam FC and Ethiopia Electricity FC, has been a key figure in Negela Arsi’s campaign. He has kept seven clean sheets in his last 10 league matches, often producing crucial saves to preserve results for his side.

Those numbers underline the impact he has made between the posts, with his calm presence and sharp reflexes proving decisive at crucial moments.

As the season progresses, Iddrisu’s rise continues to draw attention, with many tipping him as one of the standout goalkeepers in the Ethiopian top flight this year.

For the Ghanaian shot-stopper, it has been a period of personal fulfilment and professional reward, and if his current form is anything to go by, the spotlight on him is only set to grow.
