International career
In September 2021, he was called-up by a Wales U16 training camp. The next month he was selected in the squad for their Victory Shield campaign.[6]
In December 2021, Issaka featured twice for England U16s, in a pair of friendlies at St George's Park vs Turkey U16s.[7][8]
In 2022 Issaka was again selected to represent Wales. In April he featured in an under-16 UEFA Development Tournament,[9] and in October playing for the under-17s in three UEFA Euro U17 Championship qualifiers, scoring in a 3–3 draw with Sweden.[10] In October 2023 Issaka was selected for the Wales Under 19 squad.[11]
