“My footballing idols are Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar Junior. I admire Ronaldo’s hard work and perseverance, which inspires many footballers like me around the world.

Did financial difficulties growing up affect your football in any way?

“Yes, I have faced many financial difficulties in my footballing career so far but I would like to thank my old club Minerva Punjab, who have helped me a lot along the way.

“They gave me 100% scholarships to stay there in the academy which helped me grow and improve my game. I am indebted to them for that.”
