Ghana U-15 standout John Andor
Ghana U-15 standout John Andor is set to travel to Brazil for a two-month trial with Santos Academy, one of the most storied youth systems in world football.
The 15-year-old winger and forward emerged as one of Ghana’s most promising talents during the recent CAF U-15 African Schools Football Championship, held in Accra.
Andor had already drawn interest from the Brazilian club before Ghana participated in the Montelido Promise Tournament in Israel last month, according to JoySports.
Noted for his explosive pace, relentless energy, and direct attacking style, Andor has become known for his intensity and creativity on the flanks. He was named Best Player at the Montelido Promise Tournament in April, where Ghana clinched the title.
Returning to the African Schools Championship, Andor continued his impressive run, finishing as Ghana’s joint top scorer with two goals, level with teammate Ignatius Cyril Hagan, and contributing an assist. His performances earned him the title of Ghana’s Best Player of the tournament.
The upcoming trial with Santos presents a significant opportunity for the young talent to take his development to the next level, following in the footsteps of legends who began their careers with the Brazilian giants.
