He admitted delight with his selection in the competition’s team of the first round, following his haul of two goals and same number of assists, then stressed that the mission in Morocco is not a personal desire but a collective aspiration.
The 2024 Africa Footballer of The Year, who previously played for Charlton Athletic, Everton, Fulham and Leicester City of England, enthused that the Eagles’ collective zeal will lead them to victory.
“We had a great run in the group stage, and I am thankful to all that voted. The selection is not just for me, but my entire teammates. Their efforts on the pitch contributed to my selection.
“However, this is not the vision for our team. We have set targets to accomplish here in Morocco, and we are nowhere near our targets yet,” said the former England youth international, who has also played for RB Leipzig of Germany.
