“It still feels like a dream,” he told Times Sport in a telephone interview on Sunday. “After signing, I am now buzzing to get started and meet my new teammates. I believe this move] will be a steppingstone to a great future ahead. I have been scoring goals in Rwanda, so hopefully, I can do it with my new club too. I will give my best in trying to be a good team player and contribute, as much as I can, to the success of the team. Obviously, it’s a pro club. It is a big challenge, but I am confident I will adapt quickly and take my football to a higher level,” he added.
