When he was asked in an interview with FARPost what he hopes to achieve in the MLS, the 22-year-old forward said: “My aim is to win the league because I have played in the playoffs [MLS Cup playoffs].”
“Now, I know how they do things in the league. So, I’m well aware of everything.
“But all in all, I have to win the league and make the fans happy, and score goals for the team.”
