Issahaku was presented at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy in Alcochete on Wednesday, April 6.
"I'm very happy to be here, it's fantastic. They received me very well," he told Sporting's newspaper and Sporting TV in his first official interview.
"I really like to end it [shot], especially from afar. It will make me grow more. Everyone has helped me by telling me what I have to do," he added while explaining what playing in Portugal would mean for him.
The teenager started the 2021/22 season with Ghana Premier League side Dreams FC and was a part of Ghana's squad at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
