Not bad for a striker…

Disappointing as it would inspire the young lads.

Somebody likes their carbohydrates…

He will have heard about Martins goal quite a bit then…!
Q: What is the best goal you have ever scored and could you describe it?

He is a funny, young lad is Khaellem! Very confident and not afraid to joke about his ability, but he is humble… Just a bit of a joker!
Q: What is the most memorable match you have played in and why?
A: Against FC Twente. I scored and played well.
So a very self focused lad, which is good at this age as it’s all about personal development. Not a bad attitude for a striker, but hope he appreciates his team mates too.
