Spain and FC Barcelona fullback Alejandro Balde has shared an encouraging message with rising star David Oduro, showing support for the young Ghanaian talent.

Balde, recently back in action after recovering from a long injury layoff, reached out via Instagram to offer mentorship and motivation.

The gesture came after Oduro publicly named the 21-year-old Barca defender as his football idol, stating that he models his game after Balde's dynamic style.

In response, Balde sent a direct message to Oduro, saying, "Welcome, my brother. Keep working! Anything you need, I'm here."

Oduro’s game is strikingly similar to Balde's. His ability to maraud down the left flank, offer width in attack, and deliver pinpoint crosses is reminiscent of his idol.

As he settles into life at La Masia, it will be intriguing to see how Oduro’s raw talent develops under the guidance of one of the world’s best football academies.

Balde’s mentorship could prove invaluable as Oduro works his way up the ranks at one of football’s most illustrious clubs.

Oduro's move to Barcelona marks a historic moment in the Ghanaian football landscape.

According to Ghanasoccernet, he became the first player to be transferred directly from the country's top flight to the Catalan club.
