In an interview to Togo Football, the 21-year-old told how he integrated the Hawks of Togo. The young Bordeaux player also admitted having great international ambitions.

“I always wanted to play for the Hawks. It’s a pride for me to represent this country. I already knew Kevin Denkey whom I played against. I quickly integrated, it went very well. [… ] My dream with Togo in the short term is to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations. I also want to achieve great things in the future. Because I am young, I would like to be able to win titles. I have serious ambitions for Togo.”
