“At the U-17s I was among the big boys but here, I’m one of the youngest players,” the Black Starlets skipper added.

The diminutive attacking midfielder operates behind the two strikers but can also play across the field as,” he told CAFOnline.

“I’m mostly played just in front of the midfielders but I can play across the front positions."
