  • WHAT NKETIAH SAID

    Nketiah said: "There is no point being in a competition if you don’t dream to win. We have the quality to do so and we are pushing every day to win every tournament that we enter and play in. We are relishing the next round of games. We have got to focus on the Premier League games coming up first, make sure we continue to do well and then we can look forward to next round.

    "My dream is to win all of it. It (the Champions League) is a great competition to be in. We have worked so hard to get there, so we are going to keep pushing every day to deliver and hopefully achieve our dreams."
