Abdul Wakaso, son of former Black Stars midfield enforcer Mubarak Wakaso, is steadily carving a name for himself in European football, continuing his family’s proud footballing legacy.
The young midfielder is currently on the books of Spanish side Elche CF, the same club where his father once showcased his talent during an illustrious career in Europe. Mubarak Wakaso, a revered figure in Ghanaian football, enjoyed spells in Spain with clubs including Elche, Villarreal and Alavés, earning widespread recognition for his combative style, powerful long-range strikes and commitment to the national team.
Abdul Wakaso, who has come through the ranks with promise and discipline, is already drawing attention for his composure on the ball, tactical awareness and work rate — qualities reminiscent of his father’s playing days. Although still in the developmental phase of his career, coaches and observers at Elche are said to be monitoring his progress closely, with expectations high for his future.
Football analysts believe Abdul’s exposure to top-level European training and competition places him in a strong position to develop into a top professional, and potentially a future candidate for Ghana’s national teams at youth or senior level.
As Ghana continues to invest hope in the next generation of football talent, Abdul Wakaso stands out as a name to watch — a young baller determined to honour his father’s legacy while forging his own path on the international stage.
