The former LOSC Lille star, originally from Edo State, was born in Lagos and grew up around Ojota, where he started playing football as a kid.
Then, he eventually represented the country at the FIFA U-17 World Cup in 2015, in a performance that saw him claim the highest goal scorer award whilst lifting the trophy.
Another video, however, saw the 2022-23 Serie A top scorer visit some of his old friends and the old field he formerly played before embarking on his European Journey.
