17yrs Old Adamolekun Paul is making raves at the Great Olympic football academy scouting program due to his explosive talents and ability to slot in quite a number of positions perfectly well.
Paul admitted his love for Manchester United legend, Paul Schooles who is also his hero and one he looks up to as he looks to hit the highest pinnacle of his football career, Sports247 understands.
The scouting program is being hosted by Great Olympic Football Academy at the Legacy Stadium in a bid to discover raw talents and help them progress to the next phase of their dreams.
Assigned the no 16 jersey number, the Kogi State-born right wing-back who grabbed a goal to his name revealed that his friend introduced him to the scouting program so he had to travel down from Kogi to Lagos State.
“My friend told me about this scouting program, I had to travel down to Lagos to participate.”
“It started last week Wednesday and some players were screened out but I made it to the final stage, we played our last match yesterday and we won 3-1.”
“Our second match today, I played from the wingback and I had the goal, happy for that.”
On his long-term dream, “My target is to become a professional footballer, I think serving and assisting my teammates, just giving them the ball anyhow they want it and they get goals is what I love. That’s one of my attributes, I can play in the midfield and also on the wings.”
Paul recounted how he got his first boot and his parent’s displeasure about his chosen career path, “I saved money for my first boot because my parents didn’t allow me the freedom to play football.”
To who he models his game and looks up, “I love Paul Schooles a lot, he inspires me,” he concluded.
