"Two years earlier, after my Europa league Final, I was talking to a club in Italy whose name I'm not going to give. We were talking quietly and the athletic Director said to my agent. A black goalkeeper here is complicated. But I was happy they didn't tell me I was a bad keeper, they said they didn't want me because I was black. it's different, its something I can't control."


The Young and talented goalkeeper still went on to say that he is proud to be black despite the failed move.
