Ghanaian defender Issah Yakubu wants to reach a higher pedestal with Malian club Stade Malien de Bamako.

The 25-year-old wasted no time to win his first title for the club following their triumph over AS Real Bamako in the Malian Super Cup on Saturday.

The former Dreams FC player who joined the club before the start of the season was in action when his side strolled to a 2-0 win over their opponent to clinch the covetous trophy.

The Ghanaian defender lasted the entire duration of the game as his outfit strolled to a 2-0 win over AS Real Bamako on Saturday.

Issah Yakubu was a valuable presence at the back for his side sniffing away every danger.

Speaking to Footballghana.com, the enterprising defender expressed he wants to make history with the club having won his first title for the club.

“I’m very happy to win the Super Cup with my team. I joined Stade Malien not long ago and being able to help them win a trophy is a plus for me. It is the second trophy in my career so I’m extremely happy. I’m looking forward to helping the club achieve great things”

“It is the dream of every player to make history, so I’m looking forward to that” he added.

The centre-back joined Stade Malien before the start of the 2023-24 football season from Ivorian club ES Bafing.

The 25-year-old departed Ghana for Cote d'Ivoire last year on a free transfer after his contract with Dreams FC expired at the end of the 2021-22 campaign.

Yakubu was an instant hit in the Ivorian Ligue 1 with top-notch performances, which attracted the top sides in the country and outside.

The former Ghana U23 player earned a place in the team of the season of the Ivorian championship with his consistent performances.

Despite interest from other clubs, the highly-rated defender opted to join Stade Malien.
