Baba has been rated as one of the best talents in the world
Ghanaian teenage prodigy Abdul Rahman Baba has been rated as one of the best young players in the world by coach of his German top-flight club.
The 18-year-old, who plays for Greuther Furth in the Bundesliga, is causing waves in the tough German league with his performances in his debut season.
Baba, who joined the club at the start of the season from Ghanaian side Kotoko, profited from the injury to experienced defender Henry Schmidtgal at the left-back position.
The performances of the Ghanaian defender in the last two league games against giants Bayern and Schalke 04 has got the big teams in Germany droning.
The left-back was seen as the best player over Bayern’s Thomas Mueller and Schalke’s experienced Jefferson Farfan, prompting Greuther Furth coach Mike Büskens to rate him among the best talents in the world.
“He has got extraordinary potential. I’ve never seen an 18-year-old who has got so much talent and still developing,” Buskens said when praising the Ghanaian youngster.
Baba has also expressed confidence in his ability insisting he will continue to develop.
“I’m still a young guy. I’m stronger with every game and I can achieve anything in football.”
Back in the summer, top clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal and Napoli tried to sign the Ghanaian youngster before Furth guaranteed him first team action.
He is signed with Fürth until June 2017.

when Ghana is looking for this very position for long time look at it here in Germany, where are our spies? they were paying them for nothing, this boy have to be invited to the Black Stars now to solve the problem of our left full back.
My brother Musah, this guys at elm of affairs knows very well about dis boy. The coach Kwesi Appiah invited de boy to friendly against Cape verde in Potugal before de Afcon 2013 but as to why de boy did nt show up remain questions to answer from de F.a. protocol officer because de information some us gathered from de boy’s club is that der was an invitation nd club also comfirm nd released de boy bt no ticket was sent or letter to de reason why de boy did not travel to Potugal. this are questions nid to answerd some day. God bless Ghana.
Your writing stings. Just stop this nonsense and write your english clearly. This is a disgrace.
I think he will be the best person to fill that position in future,for now let us give him time to mature bcos we did the same with Masauwudu and nearly destroy him.May be in about 12 months time looking at the rate at which he’s developing he will become an asset to the BS.
What are you talking about? If he is playing for his team then why not play for the Black Stars if he is that good as everybody claims. Are you kidding me that he will be destroyed just because he gets to play for a national team? Your point does not make any sense
I watched this guy play for Kotoko last season as they won the league & I have no doubt in my mind that he will be an asset for the nation in future.I agree with John that we need to give him a season or two to mature well.I simply love his height as a left full back.Our monitoring team should keep an eye on him.
stupid smelly and ugly ghanaians
