Daniel Daga who idolises Kante and Bissouma reacts to first goal for Norwegian champions

Flying Eagles midfielder Daniel Daga has expressed his excitement after scoring his first goal for Norwegian champions Molde FK, Soccernet.ng reports.

The 18-year-old joined Molde from One Rocket following his impressive loan stint with nine-time Nigeria Premier Football League champions Enyimba and is adjusting quickly to life in Norway.

In his debut game for the club, the Nigerian youngster rose to meet a corner kick and headed the only goal past Felix Jakobsson, sealing victory for his side in the 84th minute.

After the game, an excited Daga took to his social media platform to express his joy, writing, “First goal in blue. Great feeling!”

Earlier, the highly rated young midfielder, who impressed for Nigeria’s U-20 team in the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Argentina, revealed former Chelsea star N’Golo Kante and Tottenham’s Yves Bissouma as his idols.

“[Yves] Bissouma in Tottenham, but before, I loved [N’Golo] Kante. In terms of ball-playing, I play like Bissouma, but for tackling and covering spaces on the pitch, yeah, Kante,” he said via his club during his official unveiling.

The Nigerian youth international has been tipped for a bright future, with his defensive and ball-winning abilities standing out.
