I'm feeling like I'm making a lot of progress in training, and the club is great. I am quite delighted to be there because there are many wonderful people and excellent coaches.
Next season, I may have to commit to playing at the U21 level permanently. "It will be a great opportunity for me because there aren't that many strikers on the squad."
