Oduro disclosed that training with the B team is more intense and aggressive.
In a video chat with former Accra Lions teammate Evans Botchway shared on social media, the defender admitted he is living the dream.
"For the first team training it was good, no pressure and simple," he told Botchway. "But the youth training is different. It is more intensive and more aggressive, but I held my own."
Oduro enjoyed a good spell in the Ghana Premier League with Accra Lions, helping the club finish as runners-up last season.
He was also a member of the Ghana U20 team.
Oduro expected to excel at Barcelona
Speaking to Ghana Premier League expert Raymond Nyamador, he stated Oduro has the qualities to make a quick progress to the first team.
He told Yen.com.gh: "I have watched Oduro since he joined the first team of Accra Lions, and I can tell he is so natural and has the potential of becoming one of the best in the world. What makes him unique is his versatility. He is able to play in advance areas on the left and his switch up play with Baba Apiiga is quite impressive. His crosses are also dangerous. He could have been one of the players with the most assists if the forwards of Accra Lions took their chances last season."
