According to the former Golden Eaglets star, who is spending his third season with the La Liga side, playing with the Yellow Submarines has really raised his game to a new level
“I think my game has changed so much, coming from Nigeria to play in Europe at Villarreal CF. Before I saw football as entertainment just to play how I want, attack and dribble, to entertain the fans.
