In the same vein, Clinton disclosed that he adores Messi for his speed, eye for goal, slippery qualities on the ball, and deadly scoring ability, especially during his days at FC Barcelona of Spain.
He disclosed further that he tries to combine the styles of Mikel and Messi while playing as a left-winger or top striker, especially in terms of ball holding and shooting at goal.
“I adore Mikel and Messi, but I want to achieve more than them in football. That’s why my main ambition is to make it big as a professional footballer.
“For now, I’m still growing and I’m currently playing for Preston FC in my school’s football league, but I will never give up. I’ll keep on trying until I get to the top,” Clinton asserted.
