Nigerian international footballer Atto Abbas says he dreams of playing for the national team and can’t wait to put on the green and white colours of his homeland.

The Kaduna-born player plays as a winger and central midfielder.

The 19-year-old winger decided early on in life that he wanted to pursue a career in football and to make his dream become a reality he joined S.M.C Youth Academy. The academy is owned by former Nigeria and AC Milan legend Mohammed Aliyu Datti. Datti is reputed for its great culture of producing youngsters from northern Nigeria.

The 19-year-old spoke on his ambition as a footballer: “My dream is to play for my country.

“My role model is Leo Messi. I always try to play like him, his pattern of play, his behaviour with the ball on his foot, I am working to be like Messi.

“My plans to get to the top is to work hard for what I want to be and make every opportunity very useful.

There’s no denying the fact that he’s making progress. And if he continues to dazzle, big clubs may soon line up for his services or, better still, be called up to represent Nigeria
