Fatawu Ganiwu, a 16-year-old Ghanaian football prodigy, is currently on trial with English giants Chelsea FC, following a request from the club.
The talented midfielder played for Chelsea's U-18 side on Tuesday, impressing the technical team enough to warrant a further trial with the U21 team.
Ganiwu's journey in European football began late last year, with stints at various clubs including RC Lens and RB Salzburg.
His remarkable performances with the Black Starlets, Ghana's U-17 national team, have drawn significant attention.
Ganiwu played a pivotal role in securing victory for Ghana at the UEFA Youth Championship in Serbia, where his dazzling displays captured the interest of top European clubs.
His exceptional potential and on-field heroics during the championship have left scouts and pundits impressed, with several prominent European clubs now vying for the opportunity to nurture his prodigious talents.
Among those interested are giants like Bayern Munich and Red Bull Salzburg, who have all expressed keen interest in securing Ganiwu's services.
As Ganiwu embarks on this promising chapter, he is set to further hone his skills within the youth setups of these prestigious clubs, laying the foundation for a career brimming with potential.
The next month will be crucial for Ganiwu as he navigates trials and training sessions with some of Europe's elite, marking an exciting phase in his burgeoning football journey.
