He also is part of the state team squad and his commitment to both parties is affecting his availability for the academy.

“The state is above us, Juventus Academy is also a future for him, that’s what we are training him for. So why keep him?”
“We replaced Basit with Daniel, we replaced Bodunde with IBRAHIM, we replaced Taye with Ahmed, and many more, their replacement has been fantastic, yet the replaced players are still part of us in a way”
The young goalkeeper has never lost a final he has kept in for the Blazers and has gone on to win 10 trophies with the academy. His services for the academy has been outstanding.
