Although Nigeria Makes an Approach, Kayode Said He Never Considered Changing National Teams

Although Nigeria made an approach, Kayode said he never considered changing national teams because of his strong connection with Italy and the role the country has played in his football career.

Kayode said his long journey through Italy’s youth teams played an important role in his decision.

His connection with Italy became stronger after he helped the country win the European Under 19 Championship, scoring the winning goal against Portugal in the final.

Kayode said his time at Fiorentina was particularly important to him and described the club and the city of Florence as a place where he grew as a player.
