I love scoring goals that was my main
thing loved
[Music]
it well I was born and raised in South
London um Kennington from there just
playing football in a park in the state
just kicking ball and then fortunate
enough while I Wasing playing football
just going Sunday League matches I went
to Watford Development Center and then
from there they likeed me and then
happily enough City came along and I
thought this is a big opportunity
getting out like the hood for example
that bad influence was happening so I
thought if I moved it would be better
for me the state of trouble loads of
like bad influence that cuz after school
was just football football and then
other people just bad influence on me
just doing bad stuff and I just didn't
want to be around that opportunity to
come to Manchester I'm really
[Music]
happy I was at Watford and then I
remember getting told that city was
looking out for me but obviously I
didn't really I didn't really like think
it was true coming from south London
it's really unheard of that someone has
come from London to Manchester with
quite all a big hype all I know was
Sterling from QPR then we went Liverpool
and obious Man City so I think he made
me like chose City I think well at the
time he never came City but from him
making it out from the area like the the
hood that would say it's really boost my
confidence and playing
[Music]
well I received my first call up under
15 DS but um the call up was very
special to me because that was the one
thing I wanted to do is play for my
country and be very proud and let my
family be happy with me the goal verus
gra well I just knew it was just one V
one so I took him on dropped a little
shoulder then left him then another
player came and then had to think really
far so I just dropped it back and he
just tried to take the ball and then
pushed it forward and I was just like
just I'll make I'll make sure I hit it
right make sure it goes in so I just hit
it and then just went back in the there
very
[Music]
proud moving from Watford and playing up
all the time it was very hard for me
like just to play my own age group it
was it was hard because playing against
like lower players at the time and then
comeing to play Big players with big
players so I had to get used to it for a
bit and then after a while I felt
comfortable and then happily enough
Jason warts gave me a chance and I just
took it New Castle game I started left
wing number 11 and I think in the first
five
minutes um I received the ball and I
just chopped inside and I went there
[Music]
p and then what happened I scored
again I scor again
[Applause]
the Eds Wingers javu Aaron
Isaac well they just they just told me
that when the opportunity comes you must
take it when they're always on the ball
I always look how they beat a player and
how easy it for them and like
combination with the 10 destroy a car no
don't fit anyone no matter the age cuz
everyone knows if you lose the ball that
everyone knows there there's no pressure
because look where you are you're
playing up and it's a big achievement
just to do that alone so yeah I'm really
happy for them to give me that advice
when I get the ball One V one position I
always think how can I beat him so I'll
just I'll just tease him for like just
keep on the ball just run alongside him
and I'll just wait for him to stick in a
leg and then I'll just know when to go
and not to go and I know when they like
like the fullback lacks pressing me or
just standing off me so gives me an
advantage what to do next
I was with a couple friends I got a
message I clicked on the message and
then it said you've been selected to
train with the first team I just
couldn't stop smiling I called my dad
called my mom everyone and then one the
day when I saw pep I just couldn't stop
smiling when I walked on the training
pitch I was very nervous very nervous
but I just remember what my dad said
don't no pressure what AR and jav just
no pressure so I was just okay just kept
my head low just knowing Sterling was
next to me I just kept kept my head low
just you know kept on moving it and then
pep came out and then he came over to me
and I shook his hand and then he put his
arm around me and then I think that's
when that victory was taken then he was
just giving me great advice he's he's
seen what I can do and he wants me to
improve on certain stuff was like he
don't care if I lose the ball a thousand
times he knows what I'm capable of and
he said when that moment comes in
training in match STS cuz it was just
like you football is a development when
it comes to the real stage and you have
a one V one you'll beat the
man I think our group is so special
because we have this great chemistry on
and off the pitch so if we're not in
training we'll just meet up and just
gather around just do stuff and then
when on the pitch we take it proper
serious on the training pitch like it's
a game
so that's how all of us work so hard and
play like get results on Match
days my strengths are probably one V
ones I'm really good at taking on a
player um my shots are improving
skills skills good
skills my weakness probably my left foot
that's my weakness but I can still shoot
my left foot so don't get excited you
Defenders out there don't try to put me
on to my left
