AFC Wimbledon forward Aaron Sasu continued his impressive pre-season by scoring twice in an emphatic win over Queens Park Rangers in a friendly match.
The England-born Ghanaian forward was the outstanding player as Wimbledon stepped up their preparations for the 2026/27 campaign. His two goals underlined his growing confidence in front of goal and helped his side maintain their positive momentum ahead of the new season.
Sasu, 21, impressed throughout with his pace, intelligent movement and composed finishing. His performance further strengthened his case for a regular first-team role when AFC Wimbledon begin their new League One campaign.
The attacker has been one of the club’s most prominent performers during pre-season, and his latest contribution is likely to increase competition for places within the Wimbledon attack. Having added two more goals to his pre-season tally, Sasu has given the coaching staff another strong indication that he is ready to challenge for a starting position.
Sasu came through the AFC Wimbledon academy and enjoyed a breakthrough during the 2024/25 campaign. He has since continued his development with the senior squad, establishing himself as one of the club’s leading young attacking prospects.
The Ghana-eligible forward offers flexibility across the frontline. He can play as a centre-forward or operate from either wing, while his explosive speed and ability to find space make him a difficult opponent for defenders.
During the previous season, Sasu made appearances for AFC Wimbledon’s first team in both league and cup competitions. He also played regularly for the club’s development side, where he produced a consistent return of goals and assists.
Those performances earned praise from the coaching staff and helped raise his profile within the club. Sasu’s progress has made him one of AFC Wimbledon’s most exciting young players, and his form during the current pre-season suggests he is ready to take on a greater role.
The striker’s finishing has been a particular feature of his recent displays. His latest brace not only contributed to victory over Queens Park Rangers but also demonstrated the attacking threat he can offer as Wimbledon prepare for the demands of the 2026/27 season.
With the new League One campaign approaching, Sasu will now hope his pre-season performances translate into more regular first-team opportunities. His ability to play in several attacking positions, combined with his pace, movement and improving confidence, has placed him firmly in contention for a starting place.
AFC Wimbledon will be aiming for a successful 2026/27 campaign, and Sasu’s continued development could prove an important part of those plans.
