Tripple 44 chairman, Olatunji Okuku, shared his excitement on his social media page after seeing the youngster, nicked ‘Dembele,’ realise his European ambition.

“I’m incredibly happy Dembele will continue his development at Trelleborgs FF, and also that our club has played a big role in developing him into the player he is now and, of course, coach Rossy for bringing up such a boy with a great mentality. TFF got themselves a big talent,” he stated in part of his comments.

Looking back at how we signed Emmanuel Godwin over 3 years ago. One of our scouts had talked about Prince Amos and we thought it would be interesting to see him on trial . I invited Prince Amos to join us during our training Camps in Ekiti.
