Athlete

I feel very honoured and proud to be playing for Nigeria.

Whatever role I get told to play, I just have to adapt to it and play.

Whenever I am called upon to play, I always try to give my best and make sure that I can impose myself on the game.

As a footballer you're committed to play for the badge, train alongside fantastic players daily and compete against some of the game's best every weekend. What more can you ask for.

It's an honour to be an Ambassador for DStv. Their passion for promoting sports is unrivalled across Africa.

I always had that youngster tag at Arsenal, so hopefully with this move I am able to make a name for myself in the Premier League and create history with Everton.

I try to dwell on the positive and not dwell on the negative as much as I can.

I'm always hungry and eager to represent my country and make them proud.

Obviously, people in the media speak a lot when things aren't going right, but we as players do communicate with each other. Maybe it doesn't come across as being loud on the pitch - and you don't see it as much - but we do speak when things aren't going as well as planned.

I have always wanted to play for Nigeria and I enjoy each minute we gather and when we play.

I had offers from Celtic and Southampton as well.

We know what Mesut is like because we see him in training every day. He's world class.
