Premier League giants, Liverpool have not signed Ghanaian teenager, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, according to the Atlantic.
Earlier this month, it was reported that the 19-year-old has joined Liverpool on a five-year deal but has been loaned to Portuguese side, Sporting Lisbon.
According to James Pearce of The Athletic, no such deal has been reached, and the club has no commitment to take him in the future.
The 17-year-old was set to join German side, Bayer Leverkusen, but the deal fell through after what the German side described as “dubious behaviour” by the player’s agent.
The Steadfast FC youngster has reportedly been attracting interest from some of Europe’s leading clubs, including Anderlecht and Borussia Dortmund.
Fatawu Issahaku courted interest from several clubs in Europe including Bayer Leverkusen, Ajax, Broussia Dortmund, Red Bull Salzburg among others after an explosive performance at the 2021 Africa U20 Cup of Nations staged in Mauritania.
He previously featured for the Ghana U17 team before gaining promotion to the U20 side to make his bow during the U20 Africa Cup of Nations at age 16.
Fatawu Issahaku managed to score two goals and an assist in 6 matches during the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations tourney held in Mauritania.
The promising whizkid was named the best player after the 2021 Africa U20 Cup of Nations tournament.
His enormous qualities in the Ghanaian second-tier league earned him his first-ever call-up to the senior national team of Ghana for a double-header friendly against Morocco and Ivory Coast.
