I am very happy with my move to Bayern. As a kid I always dreamed of such a moment.

I don't think I have a specific favorite moment in 2020, I think everything that came with 2020 was amazing.

I am really excited to be called into Canada Soccer's men's national team.

It's changed big-time 'cause now I wanna go out, have fun with my friends, but I gotta also take in that I'm playing at the MLS level and I have to represent the club. I can't go out and fool around, cause trouble anymore.

I know that there are other sides to life. All the more reason why I now try to convey to the people out there how important it is to feel a sense of joy.

I want to stay in Germany and with Bayern for as long as possible.

I have to keep pushing and keep striving, and also keep being me on the field.

When I signed that USL contract, my perspective changed on me being a professional footballer. That was my goal ever since I was young. I never thought I could achieve it, but that's when it clicked in my head that I can really go far in the sport.

I just want to show my speed and my skills as a left back and it's a position where I can go forward and come back as well and help the team both defending and attacking.

I experienced that the ball is the most important thing. When you have the ball, the other team really can't do anything.

I enjoyed every moment of being at school. Football doesn't last for ever, so you need an education longer term.

It was really tough being 14 and moving away from home.

When I was younger Canada took me in. Being able to represent my country in a World Cup would be an amazing experience.

I'm happy that I'm getting more people looking at me.

We went through tough times when I was very young and I'm so infinitely grateful to my parents. Their journey began during the civil war in Liberia and we came to Canada via Ghana. I'm in the happy situation where I can say I can enjoy every single day of my life.

As a soccer player you want to perform, whether it's in front of 72,000 or even 1,000. You always want to be your best because you never know who's watching.

I want to be an inspiration to lots and lots of children.

Football comes first, but I want to be an actor eventually.

Being able to sign for a club like Bayern Munich is exciting. I've been dreaming about this since I was a kid. Those are the guys that - you know - as a kid, I was looking up to. Watching them on TV, playing with them on FIFA. Getting to be able to meet them and being able to play on the team is just exciting.

The run I've been on with Bayern has been amazing. I just want to say that I'm happy for all the support I'm getting back home and I just want to thank everyone that has supported me, as well.
