His performances raised eyebrows, earning him a move to Europe in the summer transfer window.
In an announcement made on social media by CAF, the Ghanaian playmaker was nominated for the Young Player of the Year Award as well as the Africa Inter-Club Competition Player of the Year.
Issah will compete with some of the brightest youngsters on the continent, including Brighton's Yankuba Minteh and former winner Lamine Camara for the top award.
Meanwhile, in the Interclub Player of the Year category, he will be competing with former Dreams FC teammate John Antwi and South Africa's Ronwen Williams for the coveted trophy.
Who is Aziz Issah?
Abdul Aziz Issah rose through the ranks at Dreams FC after breaking into the first team in the 2022/23 season. He starred for the then Dawu-based club as they won the MTN FA Cup, where he was named the tournament's best player as well as MVP in the final.
The teen sensation then hogged the headlines in Africa with his scintillating displays, scoring outrageous goals from his sweet left foot. He netted four times in the Confederation Cup, per Transfermarkt.
The nimble-footed winger is commonly referred to as Messi on the local scene due to his style of play. He is currently with the Barca Atletic team, the B side of Catalan giants Barcelona.
