Tema City Football Club youngster Theophilus Nana Yaw Arthur has earned his first invitation to the Ghana U17 national team, marking a significant milestone in his promising career as he joins the Black Starlets ahead of the upcoming Africa U17 Championship.

The talented 16-year-old winger has been one of the standout performers in Ghana’s youth football scene and is widely viewed as one of the country’s most exciting emerging prospects. Nicknamed “Lewandowski” due to his eye for goal, Arthur’s rise has been rapid, driven by consistent performances and a mature approach to the game.

His call-up comes on the back of an outstanding run of form with Tema City FC. Last season, he scored 11 goals and provided 4 assists, playing a key role in his team’s attacking setup. He has continued on that trajectory this campaign with four goals and two assists in his first six matches.

Club officials describe him as a hardworking and creative attacker capable of influencing matches both as a scorer and provider. His pace, technical ability and confidence in one-on-one situations have made him a constant threat from wide areas.

Joining the Black Starlets offers a huge opportunity for Arthur to showcase his qualities on the continental stage and further his development. The Africa U17 Championship is expected to serve as a crucial platform as Ghana seek to re-establish their dominance at youth level.

Still at the early stages of his career, Theophilus Nana Yaw Arthur has already captured national attention. His inclusion in the squad signals the trust placed in his potential, and many will watch with keen interest as he looks to make his mark in Ghana’s famous U17 colours.
