I chose Sampdoria because it is a great club and a great opportunity for me. Accardi believes in me a lot. I chose to come here also because of the presence of Andrea Pirlo as a coach. He was a legendary midfielder and player. This will help me a lot to improve my game.

I am a very creative player. I am inspired by Obi Mikel. I loved him when he played at Chelsea.

I was born in Lagos and started playing in the Remo Stars Academy, starting to play in the Second Division, and then being aggregated to the First Team. Then I came to Italy to play the Viareggio Tournament and later I was selected by Inter.

I know Sampdoria well. Their fans are very warm. I am really happy to wear the Blucerchiati shirt.”
