“My duty is to score goals and I thank God and I’m happy to be able to score goals,” Jide told Sports247. “It is not an easy feat but I work hard every day. I want to make myself a solution when it comes to scoring whenever I’m on the pitch. I want to keep on working hard to improve my game and continue my development here.”

Jide also revealed his dreams of playing for the Nigerian national team. The 18-year-old is looking to achieve his goal of climbing through Nigeria’s youth teams, a dream he believes is attainable if he continues to put in the work.

“I want to continue to work hard to get that desired call up to the Nigerian U20 team. My dream is to play for Nigeria, my dream is to win trophies for Nigeria. I want to win awards for myself. I will keep working hard and make sure I don’t disappoint when I receive the opportunity.” he added.
