“I feel very good. My teammates are good people and we have a great relationship. Everything is going well. These are just my first days, but over time I will end up getting to know them better, get along with them and make sure I deserve everyone’s affection and respect,” said the new striker of FC Porto.

He is coming directly from academy football in Nigeria where he went through the training ranks of Wonder Land FC, One Touch FC and Adoration FC, Nigeria.
