Aside from Barcelona, clubs such as Benfica and Club Brugge have reportedly expressed interest in Wesseh. Both clubs have established reputations for nurturing young players and subsequently facilitating lucrative transfers. Wesseh is currently under contract with Fredrikstad until 2030, which may influence any future negotiations.
Wesseh’s scouting reports emphasize his exceptional pace, adept dribbling skills, and tactical flexibility, allowing him to operate effectively on either wing. His early football development included time spent at youth academies in both Atlanta and Philadelphia, highlighting a foundation built within the United States before his move to Norway.
