Malmo FF football director Daniel Andersson has called for patience in the development of Isaac Assibu following his move to Swedish club.He stressed that adaptation rather than immediate impact will define the early phase of the youngster’s journey.The 18-year-old winger arrives from WAFA Academy as part of Malmö’s continued recruitment pipeline from the West African side, but the club is intent on managing expectations as he settles into a new football and cultural environment. Assibu will begin with the club’s P19 team, where his integration is expected to be gradual.“We have followed Isaac for quite a long time and thanks to good contact with WAFA Academy, he can now take the step to us. Isaac is an explosive and skilled winger with great potential, but first and foremost it is important to give him time to adapt and settle in.”Highly rated for his pace and ability to operate across both flanks, Assibu adds attacking depth to Malmö’s youth ranks.

Manager’s grounded attitude has helped the free-scoring German giants set up a tantalising Champions League showdown and de facto final If you thought that was good, wait until you have done it at Ewood Park. While everyone else struggled to compose themselves after watching a modern classic unfold between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, it was Vincent Kompany who supplied the cooling balm. He had just taken Bayern back to the Champions League semi-finals in scintillating fashion, another feat to justify the decision to take him from Burnley two years ago. Not many managers have breathed such rarefied air within days of turning 40. For Kompany, though, it sat snugly alongside the snappy Lancashire climate. “I remember we beat Blackburn twice with Burnley,” he said, having been asked whether Wednesday night marked a crowning achievement in his coaching career. “Nobody in this room will want to compare it with the game today, but it was amazing. I experienced so much as a player and that was incredible. For Bayern this game is an amazing feeling, but I don’t think you wait for Real Madrid to say ‘this is the best’. You have to get it from other things as well.”

Former Germany international Gerald Asamoah has called for a radical shift in the Ghana Football Association’s (GFA) recruitment strategy, urging officials to leverage digital tools to identify diaspora talent long before they reach elite status.Speaking to 3Sports, the Ghanaian-born striker argued that the current practice of waiting until players reach the U21 level to initiate contact is fundamentally flawed and often results in losing top-tier talent to European nations.Asamoah emphasized that the modern era of scouting has moved beyond the necessity of constant physical travel.“You don't need to go out. You have Internet. You have Wyscout. You can check all the players. You can check the Ghanaians. We need to do these things.“Don't sit down and wait when they get to U21 level, and you go: ‘Do you want to play for Ghana?’ It is too late.”This call for an overhaul comes as newly appointed head coach Carlos Queiroz begins preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.There’s an ongoing conversation as to whether to pursue players like Hudson Odoi ahead of the tournament after they previously turned down approaches.
