The forward revealed that he was five when he started playing football, but just for fun.
“I started when I was five, just for fun, playing with my dad in the park,” he said.
“As I got older, I started to get serious and I began to think I could have a career in professional football.

“I had a few training sessions and they wanted to sign me and I’ve been there ever since,” he said.
