Ghanaian prodigy Taufik Seidu is making a name for himself in Spain, currently ranked as one of the country’s most promising football prospects.
Seidu, a midfielder for Atletico Madrid’s Juvenil A side, is charting a path similar to that of Thomas Partey—progressing through the youth ranks with hopes of breaking into the first team.
He has been one of the standout performers in Atletico Madrid’s youth team and is considered among the top candidates for promotion to the senior squad.
Nicknamed “Paul Pogba” due to his playing style and physical presence, Seidu has drawn comparisons to the former Manchester United and France star.
He has featured in four senior matches for Atletico Madrid and made nine appearances for Spain’s U-17 national team, including captaining them to a 2-0 victory over Italy in September 2024.
Seidu made his debut for Spain’s U-16 team in September 2023, making five appearances, and previously featured four times for the U-15 side.
