“Yeah, I am,” he laughed. “But I hope to further it. I want to get back into education.
“I want to do something around psychology. I want to see how people think. It is also something that is definitely beneficial to football.”
Speaking on his magical moments when he scored his debut goal despite just having been on the pitch for a few minutes,Ademola said:“The gaffer just said 'play behind Rom’,” he told Sky Sports.
“I was lucky to anticipate the ball and put it in the back of the net.”He said as he raced towards the City goal keeper he thought:“My first premier league goal, this is my chance to score it - and I took it well,”
Well,if he continues to take his chances like that,this young man's profile is sure to rise higher and that dream of playing for the super powers may just come true.
