Known for his remarkable talent and unwavering confidence, the 19-year-old center-back has quickly become a topic of discussion, with his promising display during his debut training with the Ghana national football team. Such is his impact that it would hardly be surprising if he secures a spot in Chris Hughton's matchday lineup and goes on to make his debut in the highly anticipated fixture at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi, owing to his stellar showing in training.


Abdulai has been a standout figure in the local football scene, particularly since making his debut for Medeama in the Ghana Premier League. His pivotal role in the Yellow and Mauves' league title triumph last season speaks volumes, with an impressive track record of 30 appearances and three goals. Furthermore, his influence has been instrumental in Medeama's journey to the CAF Champions League group stage, showcasing his potential on both domestic and continental fronts.
