🐣 This week’s rising star: Ilyas Ansah 🇩🇪 – 🇬🇭

Every week, OneFootball introduces you to the new gems of world football. This Tuesday, we take you to Germany, to Berlin, where one of the future great European strikers seems ready to burst onto the scene. 

The Bundesliga has a reputation for being a paradise for scorers. A new significant competitor has been added to the list of strikers who could explode the counters in the German championship this season: Ilyas Ansah.

Even though his idol is Thierry Henry, his profile is closer to Isak, Haaland or Ekitike. At 20 years old (2004), Ansah impresses with his technical skills and mobility despite his 1m97 height. A devastating combination, which has made the German-Ghanaian striker a terror for opposing defenses since the beginning of his career. 

Trained at Paderborn, where he played two seasons in the second German division (7 goals in 60 matches), and recruited this summer by Union Berlin for 4 million euros, Ansah has made a successful transition to the Bundesliga, with 3 goals in 4 matches, including a historic and beautiful double in the first match.

The same goes for the German Hopefuls, as the Berlin striker has also found the back of the net on the occasion of his first selections in the category. The German selection could soon have its new terror.

Nothing seems to be able to stop Ansah, whose express adaptation says everything about the talent he seems to possess. Often described as a “diamond in the rough”, Ansah is already asserting his goal scoring ability, power and explosiveness, combined with a comfort with the ball and in dribbling that make him a constant threat. He is also capable of playing as an offensive midfielder, as he did last weekend against Hoffenheim.

He seems to have found in Berlin a good place to take a leap, and present himself to all of Europe’s football. The kind of profile that will interest the very big clubs in a few times no doubt…Stay tuned!
