Physical

• 1.80 m, lean frame with potential to add strength.
• Explosive first metres, good separation from markers.
• Very strong vertical jump – visible in headed actions.
• Competes against adults despite age.

Technical

• Finishing in movement (not only static shots).
• Runs in behind back lines with good timing.
• Ability to finish with calm body shape under pressure.

Tactical

• Direct, vertical, goal-oriented forward.
• Comfortable starting central or from wide lanes.
• Dangerous in transition and early-phase attacks.

Mental

• Shows composure in key moments (e.g. SOL FC winner).
• Responds to responsibility rather than hiding from it.
• Development curve clearly upwards since entering TTMIB system.

Areas to improve

• Adding strength and robustness without losing acceleration.
• Back-to-goal play: decisions under contact, lay-offs, first touch.
• Involvement in combination play outside the box.
• Defensive organisation and structured pressing movements.

Projected pathway

In the next 2–3 years, the realistic goal is to transfer his raw attacking instinct into a more complete professional forward. He fits well into development environments in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Serbia and similar leagues that are used to integrating West African forwards.

Suitable pathways include Europe (France, Belgium, Netherlands, Serbia, DACH), MLS (USA/Canada) and selected UK structures, depending on club level, sporting project and educational framework.

TTMIB coordinates club, family and educational context to keep the move efficient and compliant with international regulations.
