Labaran Majeed Alidu wins Young Player of the Season
Labaran Majeed Alidu was named the Young Player of the Season. The 15-year-old received the award after an outstanding debut season for the Eewo family.
The budding left-back started and played in 20 out of the 31 games, accumulating a total of 1,760 minutes across all competitions in the club’s historic season.
Given the often-haphazard nature of the Division League, some were pessimistic about Alidu’s chances of immediate success with Vision FC, however he has shone for his new club.
Alidu was presented the Young Player of the Season Award by GFA President Kurt E.S Okraku.
Alidu is brilliant with the ball at his feet and loves to bomb up from left-back, either down the flank or even into the middle sometimes. He forces turnovers high up the field before inching forward into the opponent’s half.
Alidu likes to combine with his left-winger, progressing down the line with 1-2s and transitions, rather than looking to beat players with pace or skills.
Perhaps, his biggest strength is his game intelligence. Incredibly mature and composed as a leader, he has a good communication skill that ensures that defensive lapses do not occur.
Sponsored by Club Partners SJK, Alidu will have the opportunity to embark on a fully-sponsored one-month training tour of Finland.
It will be a travesty beyond compare if Labaran Majeed Alidu does not have the world talking about him in the next few years.
