Three youths are identified by Ghanaian icon Michael Essien as the continent's future of football. Featured

Ernest Nuamah and Ibrahim Osman, two Ghanaian footballers who presently compete for FC Nordjaelland in Denmark, have received praise from Ghanaian football great Michael Essien for their future prospects.

Essien also suggested Mario Dorgeles of the Ivory Coast as another African football star to keep an eye on. The Right to Dream Academy in Ghana produced all three of the graduates.

The Ghanaian team of Ernest Numah and Ibrahim Osman, as well as the Ivorian Mario Dorgeles, were mentioned by Essien as players to keep an eye on, according to Nigerian journalist Lolade Adewuyi.

In just 21 games for FC Nordjaelland, Ernest Nuamah, who is just 19 years old, has already scored 8 goals and contributed 4 assists, while Osman Ibrahim made his club debut in February and has since made a few appearances.

The youthful players are anticipated to follow in the footsteps of the previous Nordsjaelland stars, Mohammed Kudus and Kamaldeen Sulemana.
