“My mom told me to go to Liverpool but my agent was more realistic. He said the Dutch school is better than the English.
“English football has always been my dream,” Otigba told Voetbal International.
Last year, Kenneth Otigba, who has made 11 appearances in the Dutch League this season, tested with Liverpool for five days.
