Continuing, he emphasized Ogbuke's brilliance both on and off the pitch. "And to do it in a match also, I salute him.
“Well, I'm the one that is telling you this because I've been with them. You are looking from a distance. I'm always with these people."
After an impressive performance at the Under 20 World Cup, Ogbuke was called up by the senior national team for the first time.
He later went on to play for some top teams like Hoffenheim and Schalke 04 in Europe before leaving AIK in 2019.
