Fatawu Issahaku playfully mocks Alidu Seidu’s English
In the video seen by YEN.com.gh, Seidu was expressing his joy at returning to the national team after a long injury layoff when Fatawu interrupted him mid-conversation.
As Seidu asked about Fatawu’s stunning strike against Swansea, the young winger quickly told him to “speak English” instead of Twi, sparking laughter all around.
He even joked that Seidu’s fluency might need some work, muttering, “Sɛ wasa,” which sent both players cracking up.
Their playful exchange drew laughter from the team and fans online. Seidu, determined to prove his point, responded confidently in English as the two continued to discuss Fatawu’s goal.

The video has since taken social media by storm, with fans praising the duo’s chemistry and the lively mood in camp ahead of Ghana’s crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against the Central African Republic.

@vigilantGhanai1 quizzed:
“What’s wrong with speaking Twi?”
@iammaameefua summed up with a playful question:
“As3m b3n ni😂😂😂”
Beyond the laughter, the bond between Fatawu and Seidu also tells a story of resilience.
Both endured nearly identical setbacks last season after suffering anterior cruciate ligament injuries that kept them sidelined for months.
Fatawu’s injury, sustained during national duty last November, kept him out for a long spell.
But since returning, he has been in explosive form for Leicester City, scoring three goals — including a spectacular screamer against Swansea — and providing an assist in nine appearances, according to Transfermarkt.
Watch Fatawu's stunner:
Seidu, meanwhile, spent 250 days out of action after a serious knee injury ruled him out of 24 matches for Rennes.
His impressive recovery this season has earned him a well-deserved recall to the national team.
