As every week, OneFootball shines a spotlight on a young talent on the rise.
This week, we're heading to Belgium, to Bruges, to discover Jesse Bisiwu, who has already caught Barça's eye...
Belgium is a true talent factory in the world of football. And the new winger who could soon terrorize the best European defenses might just be Jesse Bisiwu.
The 18-year-old Belgian quickly climbed the ranks at his training club in Bruges. Since the age of 15, he has played with the club's reserves in the Belgian second division, also taking part in Youth League matches where he has made quite an impression.
A physical winger (1.82m) but very agile and fast, known for his ball control and ability to beat opponents with his dribbling, he was a standout performer at the U17 Euro last May, leading Belgium to the semi-finals. He was even named to the tournament's team of the tournament.
His qualities have quickly caught the attention of top European clubs, especially Barça, who are closely monitoring the player, as confirmed by his agent. It's an obvious connection on paper, further highlighted by comments from a Ghanaian scout (the country of his origins), who stated that his playing style is "similar to that of Lamine Yamal".
Bisiwu remains a player with great potential, who has not yet tested himself at the highest level, but his qualities as a modern winger—cutting in sharply from the left and very strong in possession—make him an ideal target for the Catalan club.
There is no doubt that we should soon see this livewire at a big club, as his contract with Bruges runs until 2027.
