In the process, he joined the likes of Taiye Taiwo, Christian Obodo, Obinna Nsofor, Seyi Olajengbesi and Ederson Echiejile as Nigerians who have moved to the top 5 Europeans League from the Nigerian Professional League.
Prior to his promotion to Inter’s senior squad, he featured 11 times for the club’s U19 squad.
