Ostersunds FK striker Jordan Attah Kadiri has revealed his dream is to play in the Premier League in England with Arsenal his favourite club just as he has been lifted by his idol Odion Ighalo.
“I love the Premier League and I hope I will get to play there,” he said in an interview on the Ostersunds TV.
“Arsenal are my favourite team because they encourage a lot of young players.”
Former Sunsel FC star Kadiri has already received a huge boost from the English top flight from no other person than his boyhood hero Ighalo, who is on loan at Manchester United.
“I have followed Ighalo since he moved to Europe and it was great when he called and advised me to work hard in Europe,” Kadiri said.
“I celebrate my goals just like he does.
“Incidentally, we share the same agent (Atta Aneke).”
The boy from a family of 11 also revealed he has always loved to score goals.
“I love scoring goals, I am happy when I score goals because it is my job to score goals,” he said.
“I remember when I was younger I would be crazy if I didn’t score a goal within the first 15 minutes.”
Kadiri was initially bound for Norwegian club Lillestrom before he landed in Sweden, where he has defied the cold and snow to fire goals for OFK.
