Barcelona make decision on on-loan youngster's future
La Liga giants Barcelona have made a call on the future of youngster David Oduro with the club. That's according to , who point towards the defender preparing to stay put in Catalunya's capital for the 2025/26 campaign. For those not familiar with his name, Oduro is a Ghanaian left-back, who linked up with Barcelona on loan from Accra Lions last year. The 18-year-old went on to link up with Barca Atlètic for the campaign, for whom he managed 10 league appearances across a season to forget from a collective standpoint. Oduro showcased impressive attacking potential across these outings, albeit with his defensive nous having been called into question on more than one occasion. Despite such concerns, though, the starlet evidently did enough to convince those behind the scenes at Barcelona of his readiness to contribute next season, too. As per a report from Sport: 'A few days ago Oduro's agents met with Barça at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. One of them, the former Ghanaian player Paul Acheampong. The conclusion reached by both parties is that, in principle, he will continue next season with Barça Atlètic in the Second RFEF.' Conor Laird – GSFN

Ghanaian Agyarkwa hopes to be a Harimau
KUALA LUMPUR: Midfielder Alex Agyarkwa has only been playing for Selangor's second team in the MFL Cup, but the Ghanaian dreams of playing for Malaysia. The 25-year-old has emerged as a strong prospect for national team naturalisation, given his age, experience and familiarity with Malaysian football. Since joining Selangor in 2021 from Accra Lions, Agyarkwa has played 64 times and provided 11 assists. However, he is still searching for his first professional goal in Malaysia. Asked about the possibility of playing for Harimau Malaya as a naturalised player, Agyarkwa said there have been discussions. "Things are in process, I'm waiting to see what happens." On representing Malaysia, he said: "If the opportunity is there, why not? I'll grab it and prove myself." However, Agyarkwa's career this season has not been straightforward as he spent most of his time with the Selangor II team. But he said this does not reflect his true capabilities. "It was not my decision to play for the second team. But my performance was maybe down. I'm not a second team player, and I think next season I will not be playing for the second team," he added. Reflecting on the season, Agyarkwa admitted he has been from his best, but he remains determined to bounce back.
