“It was summer and I didn’t have a professional club. In those years I played in London for amateur teams and a lot of street football. I had already resigned myself to the fact that that opportunity would never come. I decided to focus even more on school and to stop playing football at a club until that summer suddenly a message came from Leicester City. Finally, my dream of becoming a professional football player came closer."
