The 19-year-old, who was born to Nigerian parents in Regensburg, Germany, before eventually moving to England in 2006, has been o=n Chelsea’s books, joining from the U-11 level and going through the youth ranks before eventually signing a professional contract in February 2021, as per is set to sign for former Premier League side, Southampton.
The attack-minded full-back left the club last season after his contract expired with the West-London side, and The Saints are set to pick him up, with interest from Crystal Palace also circulating.
Abu went on trial to Crystal Palace earlier this year, and featured in a game against Valencia where he scored, but Palace refused to sign him, and now he has set sights on making sure The Saints return to the Premier League top-flight after relegating.
Off the pitch, the right-back is a multi-talented vocalist, who has been in the church choir since he was young and wrote his own song as young as when he was eleven years old.
